Benefits of academia

The CCMX policy is to support pre-competitive research projects on noteworthy themes that attract matching funding from industry. This positions CCMX in the “funding gap” between funding strategies of SNSF – mostly centred on supporting fundamental research – and of CTI – focusing of applied developments to be brought quickly onto the marketplace.

The benefits of being involved in CCMX are numerous for research institutions. Projects are funded jointly by CCMX and by industry which induces new collaborations, networking opportunities, contacts for future employment of PhD students, etc.
