Schweiz forscht

With Schweiz forscht, which has been run by the Science et cité foundation since 2015 (from 2021 as the Citizen Science Switzerland programme of the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences), we have another competent and reliable partner from Switzerland. Schweiz forscht is the Swiss counterpart to Österreich forscht and provides general information on citizen science and lists citizen science projects from Switzerlandor in which Swiss citizens can participate. manages the Citizen Science Network Switzerland, the website schweiz-forscht.ch, is a contact point for various interested parties (media, universities, citizen scientists, etc.), promotes joint learning and carries out monitoring and agenda-setting in the field of citizen science.

The Memorandum of Understanding signed with the Citizen Science Network Austria states that Österreich forscht and Schweiz forscht support and cooperate with each other in national and international activities in the field of citizen science and that citizen science activities in German-speaking countries will be jointly coordinated. It is also mentioned that there is close cooperation in the area of the two online platforms.
