Baromètre scientifique sur le Covid-19

Switzerland cannot become self-sufficient - but it can become smarter. In the final part of the series, SATW expert Alessa Hool explains the role that recycling, European cooperation and Swiss innovative strength can play and where improvements are urgently needed. Interview series part 3/3: Solutions and Swiss strengths.

Six nouveaux établissements de santé ont rejoint le Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN), à savoir cinq hôpitaux cantonaux, ainsi que le Swiss Cancer Institute. Ceux-ci sont maintenant prêts à fournir des données cliniques aux projets de recherche multicentriques dans le domaine de la médecine personnalisée. Ces adhésions marquent une avancée majeure dans les efforts actuellement déployés pour développer et standardiser l’échange de données de santé entre les établissements de santé suisses.

As China tightens its grip on rare earth elements and global demand soars, Switzerland faces a critical supply challenge. With domestic mining off the table and recycling rates below one percent worldwide, could biotechnology offer a breakthrough? From extremophiles that thrive in harsh conditions to AI-guided robotic disassembly, innovative biomining approaches are emerging that combine nature's four-billion-year evolutionary advantage with cutting-edge technology. The question is no longer whether biomining is possible, but whether Switzerland can position itself at the forefront of this sustainable revolution in urban mining.
