The foundation Science et Cité was founded 1998 with the aim to inform the wider Swiss public about current scientific topics and to generate a dialogue between science and society. Initiated as an independent foundation by the former State Secretary for Science and Research, Dr. Charles Kleiber, Science et Cité is now attached to the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences as a competence center for dialogue with the public. Due to its branches in all language regions of the country, the foundation is ideally suited to initiate and implement communication projects on a nationwide scale. These projects are subdivided into three categories: i) science communication for children/adolescents, ii) establishing a dialogue between science and the wider public, and iii) conducting the role of a national center of competence and networking in science communication. Swiss Life Sciences is a project that fits into all of these categories: a year-round program for schools is complemented with an annual event for the wider public. With the involvement of most of the major Swiss universities, the Swiss National Science Foundation, the foundation Gen Suisse and many other partners, Swiss Life Sciences also sets an example of national networking within the science communication community.
科学与城市基金会成立于1998年，旨在向更广泛的瑞士公众介绍当前的科学话题，并促进科学与社会之间的对话。该基金会由前科学与研究国务秘书查尔斯·克莱伯博士发起，作为一个独立基金会成立，如今作为与公众对话的能力中心隶属于瑞士人文与科学院。由于在该国所有语言地区均设有分支机构，该基金会非常适合在全国范围内发起和实施传播项目。这些项目分为三类：i）针对儿童/青少年的科学传播；ii）在科学与更广泛公众之间建立对话；iii）在科学传播中发挥国家能力中心和网络的作用。瑞士生命科学项目符合所有这些类别：面向学校的全年项目辅以面向更广泛公众的年度活动。在瑞士大多数主要大学、瑞士国家科学基金会、瑞士基因基金会以及许多其他合作伙伴的参与下，瑞士生命科学项目还为科学传播领域的国家网络建设树立了典范。
