NCCR (National Centres of Competence in Research)

The National Centres of Competence in Research (NCCR) are Swiss government-supported research programs that bring together universities, research institutions, and industry to focus on developing expertise in specific fields. They aim to foster innovation, advance knowledge, and address societal challenges by promoting collaboration and long-term research efforts. NCCRs provide funding and resources to support high-quality research projects, train researchers, and facilitate the transfer of knowledge into practical applications. Essentially, they serve as hubs for cutting-edge research that benefits Switzerland’s economy, society, and scientific standing.
