Innovation and Technology
ÍþÄá˹È˹ÙÍø Entrepreneur Fellowships and Innovation Grants
Supporting innovation is one of ÍþÄá˹È˹ÙÍø’s strategic goals. Through the Innovation Hub, the ÍþÄá˹È˹ÙÍø Entrepreneur Fellowships provide junior researchers who are looking to use their research findings from ÍþÄá˹È˹ÙÍø to set up a business with financing, coaching, training and access to infrastructure as well as networks. The Innovation Grants provide funding, coaching and access to networks for evaluating the market potential of research-based ideas.
DIZH Innovation Program
The innovation program of the Digitalization Initiative of the Zurich Higher Education Institutions (DIZH) promotes various types of innovative digitalization projects run by Zurich universities, with both the private and public sector. The aim is to bring research findings closer in line with practical real-world applications. At the same time, the needs and experiences of application partners will feed back into the research process. Specific funding instruments are also provided at ÍþÄá˹È˹ÙÍø by the Digital Society Initiative (DSI).
Technology Platforms
The Strategic Research Platforms Office fosters collaboration among the many cross-department and cross-institute technology platforms at ÍþÄá˹È˹ÙÍø that span different technologies. These synergies enable us to develop new methodological skills.
