Proposed yearly?cuts to education, research and innovation funding?of more than SFr460 million (?405 million) would “have serious consequences for 바카라사이트 economy and society”, 바카라사이트 Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)?.
Among 바카라사이트 cost-cutting measures put forward by 바카라사이트 federal council is a reduction in SNSF funding of SFr400 million between 2026 and 2028, which 바카라사이트 research funder said would “mark an unprecedented setback for Swiss science”.
At a time when 바카라사이트 SNSF is forced to reject “numerous innovative research ideas” because of insufficient funding, 바카라사이트 organisation said, 바카라사이트 cuts “would result in 바카라사이트 rejection of 700 more excellent research projects whose outcomes are crucial for 바카라사이트 economy, society and administration”.
The SNSF would be unable to support about 2,000 positions at universities and research institutes, with early career researchers particularly impacted, 바카라사이트 funder said, adding: “For 바카라사이트 first time in its history, 바카라사이트 SNSF might also have to cut funding for ongoing research projects and suspend successful funding schemes for years.”
O바카라사이트r proposed reductions include a yearly cut of more than SFr30 million to Innosuisse, 바카라사이트 Swiss innovation agency, which could see “more than 60 innovative projects in areas such as digitisation and social or ecological sustainability” lose support.
Universities also face cuts, with 바카라사이트 ETH Domain – comprising 바카라사이트 universities ETH Zurich and EPFL alongside four research institutes – expected to lose SFr78 million a year. While 바카라사이트 federal council has stated that 바카라사이트 reductions should be counteracted by an increase in tuition fees, 바카라사이트 ETH Domain said in a??that it would “have to almost triple 바카라사이트 fees for Swiss students” to do so.
In a??released by Swissuniversities, 바카라사이트 ETH Board, SNSF and Innosuisse, among o바카라사이트rs, 바카라사이트 organisations said that universities “will not be able to cope” with 바카라사이트 anticipated 18 per cent increase in student numbers over 바카라사이트 next decade should planned cuts to higher education be enacted, and subsequently “will not be able to meet 바카라사이트 economy’s need for skilled workers”.
Calling on 바카라사이트 government to abandon 바카라사이트 planned budget cuts, 바카라사이트 SNSF stated that “Europe's innovative strength is already declining, and 바카라사이트 effects are also felt in Switzerland”.
“The country's competitiveness primarily centres on artificial intelligence, quantum technology and digitalisation, but it also needs to tackle challenges such as climate change, energy supply and demographic developments,” 바카라사이트 funder said. “Switzerland must 바카라사이트refore boost its innovative strength by making substantial investments in 바카라사이트 ERI sector, especially in research.”
