Magazines and newsletters of research or support organisations can be exciting. We have three examples from the Swiss National Science Foundation with its magazine Horizon, the SERI with the newsletter and Euresearch. Our start-up press review.
Horizon: Should universities profit from their start-ups?
Every year in Switzerland, dozens of start-ups entering the market do so holding the results of scientific research most often financed exclusively by the state. Should universities be able to cash in on the success stories? Yes says the politician Jean-François Steiert. No says Hervé Lebret, start-up fund manager at EPFL.
SERI News: Changes in the swissnex network
In the coming months in the interests of continued expansion of the swissnex network, the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) will give thought to new swissnex locations in global knowledge and innovation hubs. At the same time, swissnex Singapore will be phased out: The swissnex spin-off established in 2004 has fully completed its tasks, helping to maintain a constant Swiss ERI presence in Singapore. In order to ensure continuity, the Swiss embassy will open up an office to handle science and education matters. This office will serve as a competent contact point for Swiss ERI actors.
Euresearch Info: Horizon 2020 - We Can Do It!
The Euresearch National Event "Horizon 2020: We Can Do It!", held on 16 June in Bern, attracted more than 200 participants. Speakers from the private sector and academia motivated the audience with their success stories from Horizon 2020 and discussed the current conditions researchers face under Horizon 2020. The message was clear: Submit now to the Horizon 2020 calls for proposals!
