Presentation of Swiss Research Partnership Projects

Swiss Universities Of Applied Sciences
A research program supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)

General Information

An executive group of the seven Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences have launched a promotion program for cooperation projects with universitiy and/or economy partners in Third World and Eastern European countries. The funds needed for subsidising such projects are provided by SDC (Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation), and project applications are scrutinized by a coordinating committee of the executive group before decision on their acceptance is made. The projects should:

  • assist the Swiss University involved to build and maintain an international network of know-how exchange
  • enhance capacity development (know-how and research) within the partner institution
  • facilitate know-how transfer and applied research for small and medium enterprises and for institutions of the rural population in the target countries
  • provide possibilities for advanced training (study tours, internships, etc) for teachers and students involved in fields of knowledge making use of this programme
  • improve intercultural understanding and cooperation
  • create a basis for further contacts leading towards future economic connections
  • aim at reaching sustainability within three years
