The National Centres for Competence in Research (NCCR) are large research networks funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation for a period up to 12 years. They aim to strengthen Swiss research in areas of strategic importance for the future of Swiss science, economy and society. The program seeks to promote research projects of the highest quality with a particular emphasis on added value by interdisciplinary and/or novel, innovative approaches.
