Every four years, the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) prepares the Swiss Roadmap for Research Infrastructures. This provides a basis for decision-making on the investment of federal funds in research facilities of national interest. The Roadmap is integrated into the ERI Dispatch, which the Federal Council then submits to the Parliament for approval (Figure 1).

On a new mandate by SERI, SCNAT is currently updating the seven Thematic Roadmaps in the following disciplines (https://scnat.ch/en/id/BGqdL):

  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • Geosciences
  • Particle physics
  • Astronomy
  • Photon Science
  • Neutron Science

With this survey, we would like to receive feedback on the proposed Update of the Chemistry Roadmap for Research Infrastructures from PIs from all fields of chemistry in Switzerland. Please provide your feedback here: https://chem.scnat.ch/de/id/NS3y3
