Within the Swiss Roadmap for Research Infrastructures 2027 process organised by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI), swissuniversities is the body responsible for identifying new research infrastructures supported by the cantonal universities and universities of applied sciences and arts.
In this context, swissuniversities has developed a process for projects set up by cantonal universities and universities of applied sciences and arts. This comprises three phases: coordination, prioritisation and pre-selection by the vice presidents for Research of the higher education institutions concerned.
More information on swissuniversities' internal process can be found here: Process Outline, Governance, Selection Criteria, Specification document, Template for project ideas Phase A.
Additional questions: members of higher education institutions are asked to contact the departments responsible within their institutions for the internal procedure: universities / universities of applied sciences / universities of teacher education.
The ETH Board is the responsible body for research infrastructure projects in the lead of institutions of the ETH Domain. The ETH Board takes its decisions according to its established internal process and in line with SERI‘s guidelines.
