In his will, Dr. Branco Weiss has increased a donation to Society in Science – The Branco Weiss Fellowship that he made during his lifetime. The bequest, estimated to be around 100 million Swiss francs, will ensure that the fellowship can continue and expand. Branco Weiss founded the fellowship ten years ago. In 2010, the last year of his life, he transferred it entirely to ETH Zurich, with which he was associated throughout his life.
Society in Science and ETH Zurich held a press conference on October 25, 2012. If you are interested in further details, you can download the information kit here.
