Strategy Vision
Men and women in scientific-technical professions play a large part in shaping our society, economy and environment. Their activities, which enjoy a high level of recognition by the public, influence our daily life in nearly every area and ensure that Switzerland remains competitive. Professionals with a scientific-technical education are aware of the great responsibility coupled with their activities and act accordingly.
The scientific-technical professions are equally attractive for men and for women, offering them challenging work opportunities and advantageous possibilities for development. Equality for men and women in the field is taken for granted and from the point of view of optimal solutions is a necessity.
