Impact of Swiss Research Partnerships

This project focuses on the role of scientific collaboration and aims to highlight how research can generate meaningful impact beyond academic outputs. In the context of increasing pressure on research and development cooperation budgets, it is essential to critically assess and communicate the contributions of Swiss research partnerships to sustainable development.

Project Goal

The goal is to identify and communicate success stories from Swiss research partnerships that have demonstrably contributed to development outcomes. These stories will be selected from diverse thematic areas, such as health, environmental governance, or policy innovation, and will serve to illustrate how research partnerships can foster global change.

The project also seeks to improve the visibility of impactful research, especially those projects that fall outside the usual institutional or disciplinary focus. By developing targeted communication formats, the initiative aims to reach relevant audiences including policymakers, funders, and practitioners.
