Scientific Competence Centers & Academic Networks and Initiatives

Scientific competence centers and academic networks and initiatives generate synergies, facilitate the exchange of ideas and know-how, and stimulate the interactions between basic science and applied research and/or clinical applications. They set milestones for the future and foster alliances, thus spurring innovation in society and business. Most of them are coordinated according to strategic objectives of the University of Zurich and/or of ETH and their institutes. In many cases, they are joint cross-disciplinary centers of the both the UZH and ETH.
