2. SCCERs
Swiss Competence Centers for Energy Research are Inter- university research networks (165 laboratories)
The centers bring together academia and industry, going a long way towards ensuring the transfer of knowledge and technology.
Established in 2014
Phase I: (CHF 72 millions)
Phase II: (CHF 120 millions)
60% finance by Innosuisse and other public funds
20% by own contribution
20% by 3rd party funds
Main goal: Support Swiss 2050 Energy Strategy
