The Jan Michalski Foundation and ECAL highlight the most outstanding Bachelor final-year thesis projects.
On 9 December 2025, the Jan Michalski Foundation for Writing and Literature proudly highlighted its ongoing commitment to nurturing creative talent. Located in Montricher, Switzerland, the foundation brings together a writers’ residence, a library, an auditorium, and an exhibition hall – all dedicated to the promotion of the written word.
In a continuing partnership with ECAL, the foundation awarded its 2024 grants, supporting the final-year thesis projects of students from the Bachelor programs. These scholarships are designed not only to provide financial support but also to offer emerging artists and designers greater public visibility for their work.
We warmly congratulate the recipients:
Karim Akel , graduate of Bachelor in Graphic Design – CHF 5,000
Juliette Masson , graduate of Bachelor in Industrial Design – CHF 5,000
The laureates were celebrated at an event at the Jan Michalski Foundation, where their projects were presented.
