Microbes instead of crude oil: How biotechnology can defossilise the chemical industry
Industrial sectors such as organic chemistry are structurally dependent on carbon and are therefore still largely fossil-based. Biotechnological processes could offer a decisive solution here. They enable the direct utilisation of captured CO₂ as a raw material and thus pave the way for circular chemistry. At the third SATW forum on defossilisation, around 30 experts discussed how far these technologies have already been developed and what is still needed to make them a reality.

Responsible AI: A Growth Opportunity for Swiss Small and Medium-Sized Businesses
Responsible AI is helping Swiss small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) build trust in their AI systems, cut down on regulatory risk, and scale their AI initiatives with confidence. By combining governance processes, technical standards, and ethical design principles, Responsible AI has become — according to experts like Ricardo Chavarriaga of ZHAW and the Swiss Centre for Responsible AI — a critical success factor for AI adoption among smaller companies.Académie Suisse des Sciences Médicales ASSM

SPHN: mise en valeur des données de cohortes pour la recherche
Diverses études de cohorte de grande qualité sont en cours en Suisse. Toutefois, les données longitudinales collectées ne peuvent développer leur plein potentiel pour la recherche, que si elles peuvent être trouvées, comparées et utilisées de manière collaborative. Pour répondre à ce besoin, SPHN a lancé en 2021 le Swiss Personalized Health Network Cohort Consortium (SPHN-CC), hébergé dans le Maelstrom Catalogue. Ce catalogue international réunit des informations clés sur le design des études, la collecte des données et les variables mesurées.

No data, no research: How Switzerland is preparing for the future.
Behind every scientific breakthrough lies a vast amount of data. But how do you obtain the necessary data, and how do you ensure that researchers in Zurich and Barcelona can use the same datasets? In a new white paper, the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) sets out how it intends to tackle these issues strategically – thereby reinforcing its role as a trustworthy and reliable partner in European science.
