In cooperation with nine architecture schools, SIA and other partners, the project introduces a national, cross-school teaching and learning platform to promote an integral design approach for ecologically sustainable buildings for architecture practitioners.

CoSAF (Combustion dynamics of spray flames operating on sustainable aviation fuels) investigates the dynamic flame characteristics of spray flames of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and their response to acoustic perturbations.

UNIC studies non-CO2 aviation emissions, focusing on SAF, hydrogen, and contrail formation. It aims to support greener aviation and improve climate models.

Institutional investors increasingly claim to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into their voting decisions, yet the degree to which these claims align with their actual proxy voting behavior remains unclear. This project seeks to identify and quantify discrepancies…

An increasing number of bike components are being replaced by electronic components by bike manufacturers. These electronic alternatives are often connected wirelessly in order to avoid bottlenecks at connection points such as the transition from the frame to the handlebars of the bike. The target…

The aim of this project is to improve the early diagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis, a severe parasitic disease in humans and other primates. In this project, innovative methods for the screening of novel diagnostic markers will be explored. The prospective results will improve the diagnosis in…

Background: Health literacy (HL) empowers individuals to take responsibility for their own health and well-being. No data is available on health literacy of adolescents or their digital health literacy (DHL), i.e. how they search for, evaluate and apply digital health information. This research gap…

ThAMES (Thermoacoustic analysis of freely-propagating hydrogen and ammonia flames in micro and meso-scale combustion systems) investigates flame-acoustic coupling phenomena in small-scale combustion systems with freely-propagating flames

First-generation students at Universities of Applied Sciences - implementation and evaluation of a catalogue of measures to promote academic success and entry into the labour market

A lack of dirt-repellency and hydrophobicity makes fluorine-free ski waxes less efficient on very dirty and/or wet snow. To impart these fundamental properties, we combine tailored micro structuring of the ski base with a newly designed ski wax, which introduces additional molecular structuring

Community and public service interpreters (CPSI) provide migrants with vital access to public services by orally translating conversations in health care, asylum procedures or similar situations. Interpreting in these settings requires high precision and fidelity because mistakes or inaccuracies can…

​Building data on materials and products exists in various formats and data models, leading to inefficiencies, increased costs, and quality issues in the construction sector. In AI-BIM, we develop AI-automated methods for information extraction and integration to create an integrated BIM model,…

In this project, we developed an evidence-based approach to executive board selection and composition. The project addressed the need for systematic, data-driven tools to optimize board diversity and performance, covering two key elements: / Enhanced data extraction: We expanded the firm's…

The project goal is the needs-oriented further development of robotics in the interests of users and the establishment of a network of users and technical developers to support residents with dementia.

In the last few years Angst+Pfister has developed an innovative, elastomer-based sensor system that integrates force measurement into anti-vibration elements. Challenges remain regarding drift and hysteresis, the mechanisms and potential solutions for which are investiagted in this deep dive R&D…

Chalcogenide single crystals from the hypothio(seleno)diphosphate family exhibit unique semiconducting, ferroelectric, and nonlinear optical properties. This project will provide new fundamental data on 2D and 3D chalcogenide crystals in the broadband THz range and demonstrate potential applications…

The overall objective of InsigH2t is to extend the current scientific understanding of the effect of operating pressure on turbulent combustion velocity, thermoacoustics and emissions from premixed hydrogen flames.

Athletes Network offers a platform where elite sport meets business and connects active and former athletes to Swiss companies. With over 4000 athletes as members, almost 100 partner companies and 60 sport clubs, Athletes Network brings added value for both athletes and companies through…
