Edmond de Rothschild Foundations Chair in Behavioural Philanthropy

The new chair is unique in Europe. It promotes research and teaching in an emerging discipline at the crossroad between behavioural finance, economics, psychology and neuroscience.

The Edmond de Rothschild Foundations Chair in Behavioural Philanthropy allows for new approaches in the field of philanthropy. It is imbedded in the strategy followed by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Edmond de Rothschild Foundations, both committed to promoting research and teaching in philanthropy, and is supported by the Centre for Philanthropy (GCP) at UNIGE. Assistant Professor Giuseppe Ugazio occupies the chair: a graduate from the University of Zurich and a Harvard University post-doctoral researcher, Professor Ugazio holds two PhDs, one in philosophy and the other one in neuro-economics. He has been appointed for his skills as an interdisciplinary researcher and for his innovative methodology in behavioural science.
