Ausserschulische MINT-Angebote in der Schweiz. Übersicht und Analyse 2016
SWISS ACADEMIES COMMUNICATIONS, VOL. 12, NO 6, 2017
In der Schweiz gibt es zu wenig Fachkräfte in den Bereichen Technik und Informatik. Um Abhilfe zu schaffen, werden MINT-Fächer (Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften, Technik) vermehrt gefördert. Die Leitungsgruppe MINT der Akademien der Wissenschaften Schweiz hat deshalb ihre Erkenntnisse zusammengestellt, und gibt Empfehlungen für ausserschulische Lernorte, Familien und Betreuung, den schulischen Unterricht, die Berufsberatung, für Unternehmen, die tertiäre Bildung sowie die Medien. Mit Ihrer Übersicht und Analyse des bestehenden Angebots, Stand 31.12.2016, zeigt sie auch Lücken im Angebot auf.

STEM 2026: Where Switzerland stands today
Twelve years on from the first STEM Youth Barometer, the new 2026 edition reveals that interest in STEM has remained largely stable, stereotypes persist, and women underestimate their own abilities. At the same time, the findings are more nuanced than expected and point to clear areas for improvement.

Impact of AI on Early Career Researchers: Challenges, Opportunities and Responsibilities
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming science and is therefore profoundly reshaping the work of Early Career Researchers. Against this backdrop, the publication Impact of AI on Early Career Researchers: Challenges, Opportunities, and Responsibilities, developed by members of the Swiss Young Academy, namely Emmanuel Senft, Sabrina H. Kessler, Pamela Delgado, Devi Bühler, and Alexandre Bovet, offers a timely interdisciplinary reflection on these changes. The booklet examines both the opportunities and risks of AI across five key areas – research, teaching, science communication, policymaking, and sustainability – while also addressing critical issues such as research integrity, data privacy, misinformation, governance, and environmental impact. It further highlights the responsibilities of Early Career Researchers and higher education institutions in promoting AI literacy, transparency, ethical standards, and responsible use of AI in science.
