As a trailblazer for Swiss universities towards a secure digital future, we are well connected both nationally and internationally. The diverse collaborations make a decisive contribution to the further development of Switch and how we create value for our diverse customers.
The digital education space should be permeable and favour lifelong learning. Switch and Educa work together to promote secure digital mobility and self-determined access to education and research. Our long-term commitment is aimed at all levels of education.
Through our membership of the GÉANT Association (Gigabit European Academic Network), we connect European national research networks and enable seamless collaboration between more than 50 million users in educational and scientific institutions around the world.
On behalf of the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation, we represent Switzerland in the e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG). This initiative supports the creation of a framework for the shared use of electronic resources in Europe.
As a long-standing member of the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), we support CERT teams worldwide in responding quickly to security incidents. We strengthen the security network through cross-border cooperation and knowledge sharing.
As an advocate of coordinated joint efforts by European registries, we established the Council of European National Top Level Domain Registries (CENTR) in 1999. This organisation serves as a discussion forum and an important point of contact for governments and internet organisations. CENTR focuses on consensus building and collaboration.
