the cluster approach together
The StraCo’s overarching objective is to provide researchers in Switzerland with the best possible ORD infrastructure and services, enabling seamless collaboration with both domestic and global research networks.
To achieve this, landscape analyses are deemed essential for assessing the current state of researcher support and identifying areas for enhancement and process optimization.
Given the complexity and multi-layered nature of the ORD services and infrastructures ecosystem, using it as a starting point to identify areas requiring action proves inefficient. Instead, the approach involves singling out specific clusters within this ecosystem for in-depth landscape analyses, enabling the translation of findings into strategic decisions that align with the StraCo’s mission.
For researchers and research-producing institutions:
- Enjoy better ORD services and infrastructures, to help you work with data more efficiently – be it your own, or that of others.
- Have a voice in the national conversation through the Sounding Board of Researchers.

Recognition that ORD has to be prioritized
The State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation (SERI) commissions swissuniversities to develop a Swiss National Open Research Data Strategy and an associated action plan.
July 2021
Publication of the Swiss National ORD Strategy
Swissuniversities, the ETH domain, the SNSF, and the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences publish the Swiss National Strategy for Open Research Data (ORD), commissioned by the State Secretariat for Education Research and Innovation (SERI).
The Strategy provides a framework for the development of practices built around sharing research data in Switzerland, and for governing the services and infra-structures that support researchers and enable ORD practices.
