Federal Education, Research and Innovation Policy 2021-2024
Long-term sustained promotion of education, research and innovation (ERI) is one of the pillars of Switzerland's success. A high-quality education system encourages personal development and integration into the labour market and enables lifelong learning. Education and research are the basis for creativity, inventiveness and entrepreneurship and are thus essential prerequisites for the innovative capacity of companies and the competitiveness of our country. In accordance with Switzerland's federal policy system, responsibilities for the various funding tasks in the ERI sector are divided between the Confederation and the cantons.
