Kuratorium der Georges und Antoine Claraz-Schenkung
Wie in den Schenkungsstatuten bestimmt urden verschiedene universitäre Institute von der Schenkung bedacht. An der Universität Zürich waren dies die Zoologie (Paleontological Museum, Department of Anthropology und Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies) sowie die Botanik. An der Universität Genf war es das department of Genetics and Evolution. Alle drei Institute berichten über wesentliche Fortschritte die sie dank der Unterstützung durch die Claraz Stiftung erzielen konnten.Die Resultate dieser Forschung können den jeweiligen Publikationen entnommen werden.
