A psychiatrist, pioneer of ultralight aviation, balloonist and United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, Bertrand Piccard seeks to combine the science he inherited from his ancestors with his urge to explore the great adventure of life. After his successful round-the-world balloon trip, humanitarian commitments assumed an important place in the life of psychiatrist and explorer Bertrand Piccard. A Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations, he is involved in programs to combat poverty.
After launching Winds of Hope - the humanitarian side of his activities - he initiated and co-founded, with André Borschberg, the Solar Impulse program - the sustainable development component of his commitments.
