It is the Swiss Digital Research Infrastructure for arts and humanities in Basel. The mission of the DARIAH-CH Consortium is to build an active and impactful national network to enhance and support digitally-enabled research and teaching across the arts and humanities. DARIAH’s activities in Switzerland are coordinated by the Swiss National Data and Service Center for the Humanities DaSCH.

Dodis (Diplomatic Documents of Switzerland) is the Swiss national research centre for the history of Swiss foreign relations since 1848. It edits and publishes the Diplomatic Documents of Switzerland (DDS), an internationally recognised scholarly edition, and maintains the open-access online database Dodis, which provides annotated historical sources and metadata. Hosted by the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences, Dodis combines historical research and digital humanities, develops innovative tools for the analysis of historical sources, and promotes knowledge transfer through publications, university teaching, and the public dissemination of historical knowledge.

It is a national organization that hosts various infrastructure activities, including the collection of social science survey data, data archiving and management support, the development and hosting of the SWISSUbase data archiving and sharing platform, and the organisation or facilitation of international and national collaborative projects, as well as conducting many research activities. FORS is located at UNIL and it is funded by the SNSF, by the University of Lausanne and by third-party projects that represent additional sources of funding.

The Gosteli Archive documents the history of women’s movements in Switzerland. Founded in 1982 by women’s rights activist Marthe Gosteli, it collects, preserves, and makes accessible organizational and personal records, photographs, and other materials related to women’s movements and women’s history. As a research infrastructure of national importance, supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) and the Canton of Bern, the archive serves researchers, students, educators, the media, and the public by providing access to its unique collections, professional archival and research support, guided tours, and public events on women’s history.

The Swiss Social Archives are a historical archive, an academic library, and a collection of topical documentation focussing on social movements and social change in modern Switzerland. They are a research infrastructure facility of national importance recognised by the Swiss Confederation and have their own research fund.

It is a research data infrastructure which provides expertise in research data management and long-term preservation, such as consulting, training and data archiving for researchers. Since 2021, DaSCH (located in Basel) has operated as a national research data infrastructure primarily funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).

Founded in 1864, the Swiss Society of Economics and Statistics (SSES) is the association of Swiss adademic economists. It aims to promote and advance economic research in Switzerland and to improve collaborations among members of the domestic and international research communities. A special focus lies on the promotion of young economists. The SSES publishes a peer-reviewed academic journal, the Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics.

TREE (Transitions from Education to Employment) is a multidisciplinary longitudinal study of Swiss compulsory school leavers, providing data on educational and occupational pathways at the national level. TREE1 follows the 2000 PISA cohort and has conducted eleven follow-up surveys, most recently in 2025 (average age 40). TREE2 is based on the 2016 national mathematics assessment (ÜGK) and has completed seven follow-up surveys (average age 25). Further panel waves for both cohorts are planned. TREE is mainly funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and based at the University of Bern.

The Zurich Project on Social Development from Childhood to Adulthood (z-proso) is an SNSF-funded research infrastructure hosted at the Jacobs Center for Productive Youth Development (University of Zurich), following a community-representative, culturally diverse sample of over 1,400 young people who entered Zurich’s primary schools in 2004. Across ten survey waves (ages 7–28), it combines longitudinal data on social development, violence, delinquency, mental health, resilience and educational trajectories with parent and teacher surveys, biological measures, a field experiment (RCT) on early prevention, and linked criminal justice and educational records. Data are shared via SWISSUbase and have enabled over 200 peer-reviewed publications.
