Actionuni has responded to the consultation on the federal government's austerity measures. We strongly reject these unfair and counterproductive cuts, which threaten the Swiss higher education and research system.

Swiss universities need to establish stable positions for intermediate staff that create working conditions where victims of sexual harassment can safely file complaints without risking their academic futures. 1/2

The 6th Delegates Assembly of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) took place last Thursday. Our representatives advocated for mid-level academic staff, addressing the Federal Council's planned budget cuts that threaten Switzerland's research, teaching, and mid-level academic positions.

The International Women's Day is coming! Progress toward gender equality in academia remains slow. At the current pace, meaningful change could still take decades. Structural barriers, biases, and slow institutional reforms continue to hinder progress. It’s time for sustained commitment and action.

Federal Council confirmed today: the plans for federal budget cuts of ~500M/year will proceed. These cuts threaten the EPH, SNSF (affecting PhD candidates, postdocs, Ambizione), and the teaching quality & student mobility, among others.
