Sino-Swiss Science and Technology Cooperation (SSSTC)


The Sino-Swiss Science and Technology Cooperation (SSSTC) program was established in 2003, after the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Swiss State Secretariat for Education and Research (SER) and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST). Based on this MoU, steps have been taken to promote collaborations between Swiss and Chinese scientists during the pilot phase (2004-2007). The result of this pilot phase SSSTC is the establishement of a basic framework for science and technology cooperation between China and Switzerland.

The SSSTC program encourages long term partnership and aims to provide opportunities for collaboration between Swiss and Chinese research institutions. In order to broadly reach Chinese scientists, the new phase of the SSSTC (2008-2011) intends to reach beyond the MOST and to include the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) in the program as well. ETH Zürich remains the leading house (LH) for the program, and University of Zürich has been selected as the associated leading house (ALH) for the SSSTC 2008-2011. Through an expansion of the priority areas as well as the increased mode of collaboration, we hope that the action phase of SSSTC will maintain and deepen the existing communication of Swiss and Chinese scholars.

The SSSTC funding instruments are:
