In a recent resolution, PS60+, the seniors’ organization of the Social Democratic Party, echoes key proposals put forward by the SAMS. It reinforces the discussion on health as a societal responsibility and calls, among other things, for integrated healthcare, stronger coordination by the Confederation and a clear framework for the use of health data.

Dal “Trendradar” all’aula scolastica: cosa si aspetta il mondo del lavoro dalla promozione delle discipline STEM
Due nuovi studi tracciano un quadro comune: il “Trendradar 2026” dell’Accademia Haufe descrive quali competenze richiederà il mondo del lavoro di domani. Il “Barometro delle nuove leve MINT Svizzera 2026” delle Accademie svizzere delle scienze mostra dove queste competenze vengono sviluppate – o, al contrario, dove non lo sono. Un confronto tra i due rapporti mette in luce perché la promozione delle discipline MINT non sia solo una questione educativa, ma anche una necessità economica.Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences SAMS

SPHN: Advancing collaborative cohort research
Switzerland is home to a diverse landscape of cohort studies that generate longitudinal health data. These valuable datasets can only reach their full impact when they can be found, compared, and used collaboratively for research. To meet this need, SPHN launched the Swiss Personalized Health Network Cohort Consortium (SPHN-CC) in 2021. Hosted on the Maelstrom Research metadata catalogue, the SPHN-CC brings together key information on study design, data collection, and variable content.
