Through their international engagement, the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences aim to have an influence on European science policy as well as to make visible and strengthen the science location Switzerland in their remit. For this purpose, they also support relevant activities by other national actors and they promote the exchange with academies abroad.
The geographic focus of the implementation measures is Europa, but the Swiss Academies are equally engaged at the global level. To this end, they use both the multilateral and bilateral level.
Multilaterally, the association of the academies and its members have an involvement in different European and global organisations. Additionally, they provide the International Council for Science (ICSU) with the secretariat for its Committee on Freedom and Responsibility in the conduct of Science (CFRS), attached to the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT).
Furthermore, individual member academies dispose of links with partner academies in Europa and overseas in the form of agreements. Finally, there exists a specific agreement between the International Balzan Prize Foundation and the Swiss Academies.
