swissnex:

Swiss Knowledge Network with outposts in:

Boston
San Francisco
Shanghai
Singapore

swissnex San Francisco connects the best of many worlds by bridging the knowledge, energy and competencies in science, higher education, art and innovation between Switzerland, the U.S.A and Canada. Initiated by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education and Research (SER) as a public-private venture, and managed in cooperation with the Swiss Department of Foreign Affairs, swissnex San Francisco is an annex of the Consulate General of Switzerland in San Francisco. Vital financial support is provided by public and private sponsors sharing swissnex' commitment to connecting the dots.

September 2006

Strike an appropriate balance between "information push" and "information pull". Offer all Swiss Science & Technology Counselors abroad - a network in which swissnex San Francisco is integrated - a standard, modern and user-friendly intelligence reporting tool. Create a searchable archive of science and technology news around the world relevant to Switzerland's knowledge-based society. Make this information freely available to all interested parties.

These are the goals achieved with a series of regional electronic newsletters on science, technology, higher education and innovation, initiated several years ago by swissnex San Francisco. We manage, maintain and fund the infrastructure with the support from sponsors. We write about North America, Switzerland (and open positions for academics in the Swiss public sector), whereas our colleagues around the globe currently edit Science-Europe and Science-Asia.
