Jahresbericht 2023: Ein leistungsfähiges Netzwerk

Im Jahr 2023 konnten die Akademien der Wissenschaften Schweiz ihre Stärken ausspielen: Die sechs Mitglieder und die 125 Plattformen, Kommissionen, Arbeitsgruppen und Kuratorien leisteten in ihren Themenbereichen und Fachgebieten wertvolle Arbeit, unter der Steuerung des Dachverbands. Als föderale Union organisiert und mit wirksam arbeitenden Gremien ausgestattet, erschliessen die Akademien ein Netzwerk von über 100’000 Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern. Dank diesem agilen Netzwerk gelingt der Brückenbau zwischen Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft in zentralen Themen wie Nachhaltigkeit, Digitalisierung oder Gesundheit. Lesen Sie im Jahresbericht 2023 der Akademien, wie vielfältig, zukunftsgewandt und persönlich engagiert das Netzwerk der Akademien tätig ist.
