Per una scienza solida
La SCNAT adotta iniziative per un sistema scientifico svizzero efficiente e al servizio della società. Rafforza la condivisione tra i soggetti della comunità scientifica. Accresce la consapevolezza per la responsabilità morale della scienza e redige linee guida per i processi scientifici e il loro utilizzo.

This community roadmap provides an updated view of the fast evolution of astronomy in Switzerland, with a clear emphasis on major (and new) developments in the field and on the associated large infrastructure needs in the years 2025–2028 and beyond. It has been prepared by the Swiss Commission for Astronomy (SCFA) of the SCNAT acting as the bureau of CHAPS, the College of Helvetic Astronomy Professors.

For the first time, a new digital map comprehensively shows Switzerland's diverse research partnerships with institutions in developing and transition countries. With such research partnerships, Switzerland contributes to dealing with global challenges and their local impact. The map makes it easier to use synergies, better identify focal points of cooperation and enter into new partnerships. It is freely accessible to all.

The body's own defence against urinary tract infections, a new method for quantifying and determining genetic damage, evidence in so-called Diophantine geometry and the question of how soot from combustion processes influences the formation of clouds and thus, the climate – the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) is awarding the Prix Schläfli 2021 to the four most important insights of young researchers at Swiss universities. Claudia Aloisi (Chemistry), Gabriel Dill (Mathematics), Fabian Mahrt (Geosciences) and Gregor Weiss (Biology) receive the prize for findings in their dissertations. The Prix Schläfli is awarded annually to the four best dissertations in the natural sciences. This prize was first awarded as early as 1866.

Notre société fait preuve d’une résilience hors-norme face à la crise sans précédent du Covid-19, apparue en 2020 et à laquelle nous continuons de faire face. Créativité et faculté d’adaptation ont été les maîtres-mots de la SCNAT pour, malgré tout, mener à bien tous ses projets: de nouveaux formats innovants ont ainsi vu le jour pour l’organisation des nombreuses manifestations et activités de l’Académie. Vous en aurez un petit aperçu à la lecture de ce Rapport annuel 2020.
The federal government is promoting an improved access to natural science collections with a total amount of CHF 12.37 million until 2024. The digitised collections provide unique data for climate, biodiversity or agricultural research, for example. To this end, the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) has launched the Swiss Natural History Collections Network, SwissCollNet, to collaborate with museums, universities, and botanical gardens in laying the foundations for the digitisation and long-term management and use of the collections.

Giovane Accademia Svizzera
La Giovane Accademia Svizzera offre alle nuove generazioni l’opportunità di realizzare progetti interdisciplinari e transdisciplinari. Grazie all’impegno e ai contributi di questa Accademia, i membri cercano di individuare tempestivamente le sfide sociali, offrono soluzioni per tali sfide e promuovono il dialogo tra la scienza e la società. La Giovane Accademia Svizzera è stata avviata dall’Accademia Svizzera di Scienze Naturali di cui fa parte.
