Female academics and students are rarely involved in the commercialization of knowledge from research & development (R&D) at Swiss universities. Their share in spin-off creation is only very small, which means that considerable potential is lost to Switzerland as a prominent country of innovation.

This Kick-off Event is the starting point for a variety of activities in which all Swiss universities can participate. Representatives from gender & diversity, knowledge and technology transfer (KTT), innovation and start-up centers, and further stakeholders are invited to meet and discuss.
