A HISTORICAL PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN :

Continuing the founding partnership begun with EPFL in 2007, today with the EPFL Cultural Heritage & Innovation Plateform.

The Claude Nobs Foundation, a Swiss public-interest foundation created in 2013, is the custodian of the Claude Nobs Collection of the Montreux Jazz Festival (1967-2013), inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register. Sustained by the personal commitment and resources of its President, Thierry Amsallem, it is based at the Claude Nobs Chalets in Caux, where artists have been welcomed since 1982 and where the music industry and the scientific community continue to be received in the spirit of Claude Nobs.

Since 2024, the Montreux Jazz Festival Foundation has joined this partnership to preserve the Montreux Jazz Festival Collection (2014 editions onwards) within the Montreux Jazz Digital Project.
