Science, Innovation and Higher Education
The Swissnex team at the Embassy observes and analyses developments in UK science, innovation and higher education policy and works closely with the Swiss State Secretariat for Education and Research (SER).
It serves as an interface between the science and technology communities in Switzerland and the UK by providing information and facilitating contacts. It works with government, universities and business to organise bilateral networking, matchmaking events and joint projects.
A particular focus is the work with Swiss startups interested in exploring the UK market.
The team also organizes regular events for alumni of Swiss universities who are based in the UK.
