The lead campus program includes both subject-specific and interdisciplinary training and continuing education courses such as management and language courses or courses on scientific integrity, with the primary goal to enhance the personal skills of the participants. This sets them apart from events that have a classic knowledge and technology transfer (KTT) or networking character.

External customers

This is primarily in topics, in which the four research institutes, as a result of their research activities, have an outstanding position within the Swiss educational landscape and are therefore able to offer unique courses.
