This project develops a digital spatio-temporal MCDA tool integrating GIS, computational methods, and real-time data to support informed decisions. Case studies and stakeholder input will assess its effectiveness in managing dynamic, real-world challenges.

The Swiss Integration Agenda requires refugees to actively integrate into local social structures and neighborhoods within seven years of receiving their asylum decision. But how can this be achieved when a large proportion of refugees perceive their own health status as poor and the asylum centre…

The TRAI project examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming academic work, particularly when students write their Bachelor’s theses.

The proposed project aims to explore when and why local administrative leaders consider co-production to be an important governance approach and the conditions needed for co-produced services to be successful. Co-production refers to arrangements in which a municipality’s representatives (including…

ViscoControl employs Residual Reinforcement Learning to create novel control algorithms to compensate for the viscosity fluctuation of recycled plastic in injection molding. The combination of stability with adaptive, self-learning capabilities will boost the processing of recycled materials. This…

This project involves a feasibility analysis of a video transmission method capable of supporting video formats up to 8K at 60 frames per second, with ultra-low latency not exceeding 17 milliseconds. In addition, various solution approaches are evaluated to achieve precise synchronization between…

By combining machine learning and computer vision methods, existing products consisting of elements of a modular system will be captured. Recognized product modules can then be reconfigured, repaired, or refurbished to support a circular business strategy.

Development of a fuel-flexible, modular burner for retrofitting gas turbines. The aim of the project is to use the scalable burner to significantly improve the efficiency, operating behavior and emissions of gas turbines.

This project aims to sensibly improve the safety and success rate for long-horizon tasks of autonomous robots leveraging GenAI “robotic brains” (e.g. LLMs, VLMs) in unstructured environments.

A scientific experiment will be used to test the suitability of AR technology in the form of headsets for training air traffic controllers. If the results are positive, the quality of air traffic controller training can be improved.

This project aims at a simulation-based development of a bobbin tool and a process monitoring system for the friction stir welding (FSW) of lightweight profiles 30mm for railway applications. The extended applicability and improved reliability of FSW allows to realise unexploited weight reductions.

The aim of this Agora project is to familiarise secondary school pupils with the history of migration from the region of former Yugoslavia and the political history of this region (in particular, the wars in Yugoslavia) through the life-stories of young adults belonging to the so-called second and…

In TaSSAreCt we investigate software architectures for systems of cyber-physical systems (CPS). As it has a major influence on the quality attributes and sustainability of long running software systems, we recognize software architecture as one of the key factors when developing new CPS and…

Climate change is transforming the world, and nowhere is this more evident than in Africa. Mozambique in particular has been subject to increasing extreme weather events, lessened agricultural productivity resulting in food insecurity and malnutrition, rapid urbanization and growth of informal…

The project develops a pilot self-help app to strengthen self-efficacy and quality of life for those affected. By applying a user-centered design, needs are assessed, a prototype is created, and acceptance and usage potential are evaluated.

"Age-Friendly Cities and Communities" (AFCC) is a framework developed by the WHO to promote age-friendly transformations. There are still many "white spots" on the AFCC world map, highlighting the potential for knowledge transfer and shared learning. The project connects age-friendly Swiss cities…

IMMERSE is committed to the digital transformation of education and training through immersive teaching and learning technologies.

In the tradition of the Kyrgyz yurts, this project investigates the applicability of felt as a facade material and the use of sheep's wool as insulation. This will create a new cycle that can potentially avoid a lot of waste and introduces a new natural material to the construction industry.

The scientific exchange invites Dr. Zock to the Institute of Language Competence at ZHAW. During 3 monts we will work on the project "Digital support for writing: cognitively motivated authoring aid, supported by LLMs". This project addresses the cognitive and technical challenges of writing by…
