2022 Interim Report on Research and Innovation in Switzerland

The Report on Research and Innovation in Switzerland (R&I report) shows the performance of the Swiss research and innovation system (R&I system) and helps to improve our understanding of the Swiss R&I landscape. The findings in this report are used as a basis for preparation of the Federal Council's four-year dispatches on the promotion of education, research and innovation (ERI dispatches).

This report was published for the first time in 2016 and for the second time in 2020. The 2022 edition is an interim report. As such, it is significantly shorter than the full versions from 2016 and 2020. After publication of the present report, the concept and content of future R&I reporting will be analysed and adjusted.

This R&I Report is intended for policymakers and government officials responsible for managing the ERI system. The target audience also includes R&I funding institutions, education institutions and all interested individuals, organisations and companies in Switzerland and abroad.

The 2022 Interim Report is comprised of two parts:

  • Part A describes the framework conditions, stakeholders, responsibilities, R&I funding and the main national and international R&I support mechanisms as well as knowledge and technology transfer.
  • Part B examines Swiss research and innovation performance on the basis of indicators. The comparison focuses on selected countries and European metropoles that are heavily geared towards research and innovation.
     

Unlike the 2016 and 2020 R&I reports, the 2022 Interim Report presents a smaller number of indicators. It also lacks Part C (studies on overarching or interdisciplinary issues having a significant impact on the Swiss R&I system).

The abridged version in English includes an introduction, a management summary (of the entire 2022 Interim Report) and Part A. Part B is not available in English.

The full 2022 Interim Report, which includes Part A and Part B has been published in German and French.
