Institutions can now join SSHOC-CH as collective members.

Swiss-based organisations and legal entities that support the association’s purpose can join and take part in building research infrastructure for the social sciences and humanities in Switzerland.

Who can join

Collective membership is open to a wide range of Swiss-based organisations, including:

  • Research and data infrastructures โ€“ national, local and cantonal
  • National nodes of European research infrastructures
  • Academic institutions โ€“ universities, institutes and libraries
  • Long-term infrastructure projects
  • GLAM institutions โ€“ galleries, libraries, archives and museums
  • Administrative institutions, foundations and associations

Collective membership sits alongside individual membership, which stays open to people who work in or support research infrastructures based in Switzerland.

New members can join at any time.
