Academia — Fostering International Exchange

We connect Swiss and Bay Area universities, researchers and academics, fostering the international exchange of research and ideas.

Academic Collaborations

For over 20 years, we have promoted the visibility of Swiss Universities through media outreach, collaborative events and partnerships, and exchange opportunities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Discover our latest collaborations with our partners in academia.

  • Optimas Agora Prize


    In collaboration with the Swiss National Science Foundation, Swissnex in San Francisco is highlighting and supporting the communication potential of projects funded by the Agora fund, that foster dialogue between science and society, enabling researchers to share their current research directly with an audience that has no specialized knowledge in the field.
