Fit for Future

The University of Bern is currently facing a number of major challenges. Some of the infrastructure of its buildings is outdated or will soon become inadequate. The demands on teaching, research, and collaboration are being transformed by digitalization. And discrepancies between Switzerland and the EU have a direct impact on Switzerland’s ability to remain a leading center for research.

Therefore, the University Executive Board has launched a major development program for the University of Bern called "Fit for Future".

Additional information about the project, methodology, participants, and latest developments can be found here on the project website.
