Dr. h.c. Emil Zaugg Fund

The purpose of the Zaugg Fund is to support publication of academic work by faculty members, lecturers, assistants or students at the HSG.

Similarly to the Bühler-Reindl Fund - the Emil-Zaug Fund primarily offers printing cost subsidies for publishing books (including commemorative publications) and translation costs for book projects.

The purpose of the Zaugg Fund is to support publication of academic work written or published by faculty members, lecturers, assistants or students at the HSG. Research for faculty members of the HSG, as well as students who are active in research under the stewardship of HSG faculty members, is also supported.

The following documents must be submitted with the application: 

• Letter to the Research Committee (with brief reasons for the application) 
• The book's table of contents 
• Abstract of the book (2-4 pages) 
• As regards printing cost subsidies: publisher’s calculations/where planned translations are concerned: quote(s)

Submission
The form for the publisher's calculation(s) must be filled out by the publisher and signed. However, back-dated funding is not possible (i.e. no contract with the publisher may have been signed yet). You can download the form for the publisher’s calculation(s) on the right.

Calculations must always be submitted by two different publishers. One single calculation is only permitted if there are good reasons for choosing just one publisher.

The applications must be submitted to the Research Committee's Office. A maximum of CHF 10,000 may be granted per application.

Information about funding
As the Research Committee’s funding for printing cost subsidies is limited and the whole of the funding cannot always be covered by this option, we recommend you also find out about the SNSF’s publication subsidies. The Research Committee welcomes applications to the Emil Zaugg Fund with which the SNSF aims to provide co-funding.
