UBS Culture Foundation supports the work of professional writers and translators. In particular, we back literary positions and approaches that make innovative contributions to our understanding of the present times and promote cross-cultural dialog. We also support projects and institutions that make a notable contribution to the dissemination and mediation of literary work and foster the debate on the role of literature in society.
