Slide 7: National Centres of Competence in Research (NCCRs) Goals and Implementation In the year 2001 the Swiss National Science Foundation launched the National Centres of Competence in Research (NCCR). The main goal of the currently 20 NCCRs is the promotion of scientific excellence in areas of major strategic importance for the future of Swiss research, economy and society. NCCRs are managed by leading houses institutionally linked to universities or other distinguished research institutions (home institutions). In addition to the research teams at the home institution, an NCCR sets up a network of other research teams across Switzerland.The maximum duration of an NCCR is 12 years. The three underlying principles of NCCRs are: • Research: NCCRs carry out research of excellent quality, spanning basic research to applications. There is a number of individual projects doing the actual research work in each NCCR. The NCCR director ensures the coherence and integration of the individual projects. • Knowledge and technology transfer: NCCRs develop links with the potential users of their results, and involve them in project planning from the outset. • Training and promotion of women: NCCRs create the necessary structures and implement measures required to train young scientists (doctoral and postdoctoral students). Particular attention is paid to the advancement of women in research. From a research policy point of view, NCCRs should contribute to a better structuring of the Swiss research environment, and to optimised task assignment between research institutions. NCCRs are funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), participating institutions - in particular the home institution - and third parties. The 20 existing NCCRs receive a total of CHF 250 million in SNSF funding for 2005 - 2008. Calls for submissions to set up NCCRs were first made in January 1999. Priority was given to four areas of research: life sciences, social sciences and humanities, sustainable development and environment, and information and communication technologies. A share of the overall budget was also made available to projects involving promising topics from outside these priority areas. The SNSF assessed the projects in two stages: a pre-proposal stage, with 82 projects submitted, and a full-proposal stage, with 34 submissions. The SNSF presented 18 full proposals of outstanding merit to the Federal Department of Home Affairs, which made the final selection of 14 NCCRs according to federal research policy in December 2000. A second call for NCCRs in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities was launched in October 2003. After a thorough evaluation of 44 pre-proposals and 17 full proposals 6 new NCCRs started in autumn 2005. Within the SNSF, Division IV of the National Research Council is responsible for NCCRs. An international Review Panel is set up for each NCCR to assess its progress regularly. Guide 2008 | 5

Slide 11: Topics Cancer cells are defective in basic processes controlling cell differentiation and proliferation, genome stability and programmed cell death. They acquire capacities to invade tissues, to stimulate angiogenesis, and to elicit innate and in some instances specific immune responses.The Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC) forms together with several partner institutes (Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Department of Biochemistry of the University of Lausanne, Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) part of a biomedical research center in Epalinges near Lausanne. The research focuses on different aspects of basic tumor biology and the host response to cancer. Work at ISREC centers on the discovery of genes that play important roles in tumorigenesis, using genetic approaches in unicellular and multicellular organisms. A major project at the Department of Biochemistry of the University of Lausanne investigates the ways that permit tumor cells to evade programmed cell death. Other groups in the ISREC and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research elucidate the mechanisms that control immune responses to cancer. Research projects in external institutes and clinics, also in other parts of Switzerland, complement the research portfolio of this cancer research program. The projects carried out in Epalinges form a basis for the design of novel approaches to cancer therapy, and the NCCR program provides us with the means to explore such prospects, through cooperation with our partners in different University hospitals. The NCCR is also essential for supporting technology development and core facilities necessary for such clinically oriented research. Finally, the program provides training opportunities for MD/PhDs to foster the development of translational oncology in Switzerland.

Several collaborative projects involving scientists at ISREC and more clinically oriented research groups at the University Hospital Lausanne (CHUV) and other Swiss university clinics have been started. Some of these projects include partnerships with pharmaceutical companies (e.g. Pfizer). underway to assess the efficacy of anti-angiogenic therapy in patients with head and neck tumours. Novel strategies have been developed to direct the patient’s immune system against the tumour. Immunisation of melanoma patients with tumour derived antigens proved to be successful in eliciting a strong tumour specific immune response. A vaccine against papillomaviruses has been developed as treatment against cervix carcinomas, which in a vast majority are associated with papillomavirus infections. The vaccine has been proven to be safe and is currently being tested in patients. The pattern of differentially regulated genes has been analysed in several human tumour types (breast, brain, skin). Results from such studies allowed identifying new tumour subtypes and in some cases new prognostic markers. They may eventually lead to the identification of gene profiles, which are predictive of a response to therapy. New technologies The NCCR Molecular Oncology allowed to establish or strengthen important technology platforms. The animal facility allowed the development of novel cancer mouse models, which mimic the genetic alterations and the behavior of human tumours and are indispensable for the validation of new therapeutic targets. The DNA array and bioinformatics core facilities supported several novel cancer relevant projects at the interface to the clinic.

Cell types from which these tumours arise have been identified. Mechanisms, which control cell division and the degree of specialization of normal cells have been unravelled and may prove relevant for malignant tumour progression. New models to investigate the development of tumour metastases in distant organs have been established. These discoveries provide a basis for the identification and validation of novel therapeutic approaches. Training The NCCR Molecular Oncology provides education and training in cancer research at several levels. It participates and strengthens the ISREC International PhD Programme and the MD/PhD programme of the University of Lausanne, providing medical doctors with an opportunity to carry out a PhD thesis in molecular oncology. The NCCR presently supports the training of approximately 30 PhD students and 30 postdoctoral fellows. NCCR advanced courses in microscopy, imaging and morphology have been carried out by the NCCR imaging facility (MIM) for users including students from the University of Lausanne and the EPFL. Further information see www.nccr-oncology.ch New research groups Five new positions for junior research group leaders equivalent to assistant professorships have been created to strengthen advanced biocomputing and research that is directly cancer relevant. New therapeutic developments A clinical study has been completed to investigate how tumours control their blood supply. A further clinical trial is currently 10 | Guide 2008

Slide 15: Third Party Cooperation (in progress) Programmes • CELLS INTO ORGANS • CONSERT • CRESCENDO • EUCLOCK • EUMODIC • EuroDYNA • NEURONE Topics The general goal of the NCCR Frontiers in Genetics – Genes, Chromosomes and Development is to understand the function and regulation of genes during cellular and organisimal development. These fundamental problems are tackled at four different levels, namely at the level of genes, of chromosomes, of the whole cell and of the entire organism. In order to reach excellence in this domain, it is neccessary to bridge the gaps between these levels. The NCCR Genetics contributes to diminish these gaps by creating a network of scientist, which work together on common projects (organized as Work-Packages, WP). These WPs provide an ideal forum for the indepth discussion of scientific issues by all interested persons (including postdoctoral fellows and students). Some projects directly related to technological development are pursued in the context of our technological platforms. These platforms are shared common facilities in which the latest technologies in Genomics and Bioimaging are available for the regional scientific community. Another major goal is to offer the best graduate school in genetics. We believe that to pursue top science, we need to attract the worldwide best students and “create” the next generation of top scientists by teaching.

The WPs prove to be an ideal forum for discussion of scientific issues and collaborations. As result of a common development, 100% NCCR, a site-specific integration system for high-throughput germline transformation of Drosophila was developed (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 104,:3312-7)in Zürich. Two further platforms have been developed through collaborations: the lentivirus and the mouse metabolic evaluation (MEF) platform (in Lausanne). The two technological platforms in genomics and bioimaging located in Geneva continue to be very well attended by members of the NCCR as well as by other regional scientists in research of excellent expertise and a low „cost/quality“ ratio. The attractiveness is mainly due to the top quality technologies proposed, which we constantly update. New acquisitions are a second widefield live cell microscope, a Bioluminescence workstation, as well as Illumina a new technology for genotyping and gene expression. out which features are appreciated and which need to be altered. In this way, the school stays dynamic and fulfills the top needs. Education The International Doctoral School developed by the NCCR Genetics has gained three new students in 2007, we count to date in total 35 students of various nationalities. The biggest success of 2007 is the graduation of the first four students of the program.We expect another five to graduate in 2008. The different professors are all very fond of their NCCR students, which prove to be excellent and highly motivated scientist. These statements prove that the recruitment procedure is of high standard and the program attractive for competitive students.With regard to the futur of research, an excellent training program is in our opinion of major importance. Therefore, a dominant goal for the NCCR Genetics is to develop tomorrow’s top scientists. We keep our eyes and ears open to students/professors opinions and wishes, in order to find Public relations In October 2007 we have hired a new responsible for communication Lara Pizurki to replace PierreYves Frei who left the NCCR in April 2007. The main goals of Lara will be to develop a concept for the Newsletter and give birth to it. She will as well take care of updating the website, developing it and making it more accessible for the public. The NCCR Genetics continues to be concerned by the need to make science accessible to the public. We will therefore again in 2008 participate in events such as la nuit de la science, les journées de la génétique, la science appelle les jeunes and la cité des métiers.

To bridge the widening gap between rapidly increasing information on genome sequences and limited knowledge on the function of gene products, a quantitative understanding of the 3Dstructure of proteins, their folding, and their interactions with other molecules is required. Such understanding is the key to develop innovative medicines, such as new antibiotics and vaccines, as well as drugs against cancer and diseases of the central nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems. In this NCCR specialists in experimental structure determination by X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and electron microscopy / crystallography, in protein biophysical chemistry, modern molecular biology, and computational biology will meet the challenge to link the ever increasing biological data generated in the genomics field with related structural and functional information.

In both areas, major advances could be reported since the start of this NCCR. Methods for cloning, expression, purification, crystallisation and analysis of membrane proteins could be advanced and successes in the structure determination of membrane proteins were achieved. A recent breakthrough in this field is the structure determination of a multidrug ABC transporter. The structures of several supramolecular complexes were determined. Important research fields in this area include the chromatin structure, the ribosome, RNA-protein interactions and falty acid syntheses. sation of proteins for NMR or X-ray studies have been established and are today a major tool for effective structure determination used by many research groups within or outside this NCCR. A successful collaboration with the SLSsynchrotron for highthroughput crystal analysis and protein structure determination complements these technology platforms. large eukargotic multiprotein complexes. Education A post-graduate program in structural biology was established and embedded in the PhD Program Molecular Life Sciences Zurich. Thanks to the synergies within this NCCR, a very broad and in-depth education of students in structural biology became possible. This NCCR established a series of well-recognized structural biology events, namely a yearly symposium and practical courses that are well attended by scientists from within the NCCR and from other research institutes. Technology Transfer Project leaders of this NCCR have various individual collaborations with industry partners. An umbrella-type agreement for long-term collaboration between Novartis and the NCCR has been realized, so far leading to two collaborations. The spin-off company Molecular Partners resulted partly from the NCCR research project on ‘ankyrin repeats’ which are an alternative to antibodies as selective binders. Another spin-off, REDbiotec, commercialites MultiBac, a novel expression tool for Structural Effects This NCCR offers an excellent opportunity for interdisciplinary and highstandard structural biology research in Switzerland which allowed to attract several outstanding young scientists to Switzerland.

Neurosciences, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, NL Topics Today there is still little that can be done to help the victims of brain damage or other kinds of diseases that afflict the brain or spinal cord. Only since the beginning of the 1980’s research has been devoted to repairing brain trauma or disease. But at the same time, great strides have been made in the understanding of disease mechanisms and the possibilities of restoring neural functions. It is said that neuroscience made more progress in the last ten years than in the whole of last century. The fundamental goal of the NCCR on “Neural Plasticity and Repair” is the restoration of function after damage or disease of the nervous system. The NCCR will elucidate the basic cellular and molecular mechanisms of regeneration, plasticity and functional repair of the damaged nervous system. The synergies between experimental and clinical sciences in conjunction with engineering sciences, neuroinformatics and brain imaging will generate new knowledge on the impairment of brain functions in Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, prion disease, immune surveillance and in neuronal regeneration and rehabilitation after spinal cord injury. Indeed, the first clinical trials have been initiated to assess the immunotherapy of spinal cord injury.

The NCCR Neuro has achieved major milestones in translating basic neuroscience into therapy since its beginning in 2001. The collaboration between experimental and clinical neuroscience has been further strengthened and extended to include neuroinformatics; brain imaging and engineering sciences. Recognition The achievements of the NCCR were recognized by a large number of internationally and nationally prestigious prices awarded to members of the NCCR Neuro. Spin offs Major efforts have been made to extend joint projects with major pharma companies. In addition, two spin-off companies arose from the NCCR and provide new positions for young scientists: NewBehavior AG in Zurich („Intellicage”) and Neurimmune Therapeutics AG in Zurich. Twenty-two patents have been issued. New professorships To advance the NCCR, eight new professorships were created since the beginning: in clinical and experimental analysis of multiple sclerosis, rehabilitation engineering, neuroimaging, brain imaging of animals, stem cell biology, and experimental and clinical neurorehabilitation. Dialogue with society The dialogue between the NCCR and society at large is an important aspect. Regular press contacts are organized and the BrainFair Zürich attracts thousands of visitors each year. An informative and balanced communication with the public is essential for our work. Therapeutic advances Immunotherapy has reached the clinical stage in the treatment of spinal cord injury and NCCR groups are participating in the first clinical trials. Similarly, the stage is set for clinical trials of immunotherapy for Alzheimer's disease. Central facilities A core structure provides methodological support for the diverse projects of the NCCR.This facility consists of four integrative units. The center of transgenesis expertise and the center of behavioral assessment were complemented by a center dedicated to animal imaging and a center on systems proteomics. Outlook Based on the past achievements the NCCR will continue to promote basic science, provide new insights into disease mechanisms and advance therapies for injuries and disorders of the CNS. Further information see www.nccr-neuro.uzh.ch Basic science Basic neuroscience has been strongly promoted to follow new avenues in stem cell research and neural differentiation as well as in the process of rehabilitation of the injured CNS. Education The Neuroscience Center Zurich (ZNZ) offers the International Ph.D. Program in Neuroscience. About 80 Ph.D. students of the NCCR Neuro are currently enrolled in this program. 22 | Guide 2008

Slide 29: Topics The present-day world is threatened by increasing insecurity, which is caused by processes of global change, globalisation, and global disparities. There are regions where a number of core problems form clusters, which eventually lead to syndromes, the mitigation of which is a global challenge and a precondition for achieving sustainable development. The NCCR North-South will contribute, through highquality, disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, to an improved understanding of the status of different syndromes of global change, the pressures these syndromes and their causes exert on different resources (human, natural, economic), and the responses of different social groups and society as a whole. By identifying the potentials of social systems for mitigating syndromes, by considering their dynamics, and by adhering to existing innovative solutions, the NCCR will also contribute to designing ways of mitigating syndromes. The NCCR North-South will enable Swiss research institutions to enhance partnerships with institutions in developing and transition countries, thereby building competence and capacity in order to develop socially robust knowledge for mitigation action. Through its activities and partnerships, the NCCR NorthSouth will contribute to developing the capabilities of partner institutions and societies at large in developing and transition countries, thereby eventually helping these institutions to find sustainable solutions with the means available in their own local contexts.

Each of these brings together at least two Institutional Partners (IPs), representing specific fields of scientific competence that contribute to syndrome mitigation research. The four Work Packages focus on (1) governance and conflict transformation, (2) livelihoods and globalisation, (3) health and environmental sanitation, and (4) natural resources in sustainable development. Activities are carried out in nine partnership regions worldwide (JACS) on four continents. These regions form the focal point and platform of partnership-based disciplinary, inter- and transdisciplinary re-search projects on global change and sustainable development. Integration and Synthesis The most important means of integration is the Transversal Package (TP). The TP focuses on “Syndrome mitigation and its scientific foundations”, and works with eight TP projects working at the interface between at least two Work Package themes and in different partnership regions to allow comparison of patterns of global change problems.These TP projects were entrusted to research teams under the leadership of promising post-doctoral researchers from the North and the South who aspire to academic careers. After two years of activity, the TP projects have already produced a multitude of scientific outputs, proving their effectiveness in integrating research across disciplinary boundaries. After six years of programme activity, the NCCR North-South has also started a mid-term synthesis of the programme’s research results. The core output of this synthesis project will be a publication of about 400 pages, with contributions by researchers from all programme entities. The different contributions to this publication will be discussed at an International Conference, scheduled for 2 to 4 July 2008 in Switzerland. Institutionalisation The NCCR North-South elaborated a concept for the creation of an interuniversity ‘Doctoral Programme on Global Change, Innovation and Sustainable Development’. The idea behind this cooperation project is to build on the experience of the NCCR North-South by creating a permanent structure for sustainability research that focuses on the needs of developing and transition countries. By incorporating the experience of the NCCR North-South, the planned doctoral programme will be a unique addition to the landscape of higher education in Switzerland, guaranteeing training at doctoral, postdoctoral and possibly also master’s levels in the long term. Participating institutions so far are the Universities of Bern, Zurich, and Basel, including the Swiss Tropical Institute and Swisspeace. The existing partnerships with research institutions in developing countries will continue to be an integral component of the programme. Further information see www.north-south.unibe.ch Scientific Output Activities in the first six years led to 700 publications (of which over 250 refereed), 500 reports and more than 1200 presentations, all of which resulted directly from the research carried out in the programme.

Slide 33: Third Party Cooperation (in progress) Programmes • COST 858 • SiTraMaisBT Research Institutions Topics Plants are the primary producers of organic matter on land and central to almost all ecosystems. The survival and performance of plants is therefore of fundamental importance to both the preservation of biodiversity and sustainable agriculture. Plant survival in natural and agricultural systems is determined by a multitude of interactions with the biotic and abiotic environment, thus, to warrant biodiversity and sustainability, it is essential to increase our knowledge of these interactions. We explore interactions among plants, and between plants, insects and pathogens from the molecule to the ecosystem and landscape level.We gather basic knowledge on resistance mechanisms in grapevine and apply this knowledge to develop new strategies to improve the health of the grapevine and the quality of its products, while minimising the impact on the environment. Other projects explore the mechanisms of resource exploitation and energy generation at the leaf-air and root-soil interfaces. To support these research efforts, novel statistics and modelling methods are being developed , thereby providing an impetus for such interdisciplinary collaboration in Switzerland.

The use of grapevine and maize as model organisms has strengthened interdisciplinary research, allowing phytopathologists, entomologists, microbiologists, plant physiologists, and biochemists to work together. Petunia also promises new discoveries in the relationships between plants and pollinators, and through the observation of its roots that live in symbiosis with fungi. The impact of new organisms introduced in the natural environment is also investigated on different scales, from the laboratory to landscape and large scale crops. The research on energy and resources emphasises the key role played by light and soil on plant growth, nutrition, and resistance. CTI/KTI, five projects are directly supported by industries, two projects are subsidised by foundations and three are financed by Swiss Agencies. allow Ph.D. students to work in other laboratories and to present their research at international congresses. The Doctoral Programme is part of the part of the regular offer of the CUSO. Public relations The newsletter Plant Survival News appears twice a year in a tri-lingual issue (English, French and German). Additionally, a small brochure presenting the Second Phase research themes is available. The presentation of the NCCR's Thematic Groups on the website has been updated according to this brochure. Up to 10 press releases per year are regularly sent to the Swiss media to inform the public about the broad spectrum of our research network. The NCCR Plant Survival sponsored an exhibition at the Botanical Garden of Neuchâtel entitled “Bizzzzzzness between plants and insects”. The exhibition attracted about 35 000 visitors. These measures make school students, general public, endusers, and policy makers aware of our scientific results. Education The 58 Ph.D. students enrolled during 2006-2007 in the Doctoral programme Plants and their Environment were offered a choice between ten courses in communication, tools for research, and scientific topics. The Doctoral programme is part of the regular offer of the CUSO and as such organized several courses in collaboration with the 3ème cycle romand en sciences biologiques. Mobility grants were awarded to allow Ph.D. students to visit and work in other laboratories and to present their research at international congresses. A survey sent to all former Ph.D. students showed that the programme was largely appreciated and is encouraged to continue.

Building on firm structural and institutional foundations, the NCCR Climate network led to significant achievements in four areas: distinct scientific impact, international leadership through networks, sustained education at postgraduate level, and extended public relations. The Graduate School “Climate Sciences” (M.Sc. and Ph.D. University of Bern) concerted with the M.Sc. “Atmospheric and Climate Science” (S-EN ETH) opened in 2006/ 2007 and offers high-level interdisciplinary studies on climate in a wide range of fields with the support of world-leading researchers. with a high impact. Examples are the reconstruction temporally highlyof resolved European temperature and precipitation fields back to 1000 or the assessment of extreme climate such as the European summer 2003 being the hottest of the last 500 years. Simulations with different climate models show that about every second summer can be as warm or warmer in 2070 - 2100 than the summer 2003. With a focus on Switzerland, a set of scenarios for severe climate events (heat-waves, wind, drought, heavy precipitation, flood) has been produced, and the impact on society, agriculture and forests has been assessed. Information about extreme events in a changing climate is vital for risk assessment in financial business (e.g., investment and insurance). Operational tools for the climate forecast of up to six months were developed, novel ways of coupling climate and economic models were explored, and future ways of the Kyoto process were studied. Evidently, a hierarchy of models state-of-the-art (global and regional climate models, regional and local impact models) and large observational datasets are a prerequisite to address such targets. Other Aspects NCCR Climate researchers take leadership in the UNFCC, IPCC process and in international programmes (IGBP WCRP WMO, , , ERA). The NCCR Climate Summer School is a highly competitive internationally recognised platform for young scientists and attracts distinguished teachers. The NCCR Climate works closely with stakeholders, governmental agencies and the private sector. Public interest in NCCR Climate research is unprecedented. In 2007 the NCCR Climate had its first major structural impact: the University of Berne inaugurated the Oeschger Center for Climate Change Research!

All these compounds have a large potential for applications and we believe that they will play a key role in advanced future Rice T. Maurice, Prof. Schilling Andreas, Prof. Schlapbach Louis, Prof Sigrist Manfred, Prof. Triscone Jean-Marc, Prof. Troyer Matthias, Prof. van der Marel Dirk, Prof. electronic devices. Among the materials displaying these unexpected exceptional properties, many share in common a low dimensionality and a low carrier density. Most of them are complex oxide systems and, in many of these materials, electronic interactions play an important role making these systems very difficult to treat theoretically. Another characteristic of these systems is that they often have competing ground states, for instance magnetic and superconducting, which makes them very sensitive to many external parameters, leading to interesting functionalities. In MaNEP the main , goals of our NCCR are to develop a basic understanding of these new materials, to prepare for their applications, and to train young scientists in this important field for future electronic applications.

The main idea which led to this structure was to center our efforts on the key questions in the area of MaNEP In the following we . give examples of some of the highlights: In Project I, “Strongly interacting electrons, low-dimensional and quantum fluctuation dominated systems”, a collaboration of several groups (PSI, ETHZ, EPFL, UNIGE) has investigated the properties of quantum spin systems whose connectivity involves spin multimer units. In particular Bose Einstein condensation was demonstrated in spin dimer systems. In Project II, “Superconductivity, unconventional mechanisms and novel materials”, a collaboration (UNIGE, PSI, EPFL) has been established to investigate the mechanism behind high temperature superconductivity by spectroscopic methods. One important result is the quantitative interpretation of tunnelling spectra involving a coupling of electrons to a bosonic mode. Another collaboration (PSI, UNIGE, UNIZH) demonstrated the presence of an anomalous proximity effect in artificial oxide multilayers. With the establishment of Project III, “Crystal growth”, we have achieved to reinforce crystal growth activities in Switzerland and to establish a close collaboration between four crystal growth groups (UNIGE, EPFL, ETHZ, PSI). A large selection of crystals is presently available for the members of MaNEP Pro. ject IV, “Novel Materials”, is a focused effort introducing novel chemical approaches to search for new electronic materials. In project V, “Thin Films, Artificial Materials, and Novel Devices”, thin films, heterostructures, and superlattices of correlated oxides have been realized and studied. A MaNEP collaboration (UNIGE, UNINE) has demonstrated that ferroelectricity can exist in layers as thin as one unit cell and discovered superconductivity at the interface between two insulating oxides. Finally, Project VI, “Industrial applications and pre-application development“, has three main themes: Applied Superconductivity, Sensors and Thin Film Development and Applications. Each of these themes is composed of several applied projects involving a total of 5 industrial companies, one start-up, the technical university HESGenève and four member institutions of MaNEP . The next event in this series will be a winter school in January 2009 in SaasFee. A MaNEP doctoral school is being installed at the University of Geneva and shall admit the first doctoral students in spring 2008. MaNEP organises since 2004 summer internships for female students, giving the latter a chance to integrate research groups at the different universities and federal institutes in . MaNEP These internships are very appreciated by the participants. A young associate professor, Dr. Patrycja Paruch was appointed at the University of Geneva in 2007. Communication and outreach MaNEP has carried out several successful communication/outreach events. The most recent one was the “Supra Fête” organised in Geneva during the week-end of June 8, 9 and 10, 2007, celebrating 20 years of the Bednorz and Muller Nobel prize for the discovery of high temperature superconductivity. About 250 persons came to listen to George Bednorz on Friday evening and 1500 persons visited the exposition during the week-end which included a superconducting device to levitate people. Part of this exposition was used at a very successful open days event at PSI on October 28, 2007. A new MaNEP initiative has been taken to strengthen the collaborations between the high schools in Geneva and the Physics Department. “Physics Park” with the financial support of private foundations will start operating in spring 2008. Further information see www.manep.ch Know-how and technology transfer MaNEP has established several collaborations with industry and the HESGeneva in different domains where MaNEP skills and materials knowledge is needed. These collaborations are carried out within project VI described above. A first spin-off company “PHASIS” is active in the field of thin film fabrication and build on know how developed in MaNEP . Education and advancement of women After having co-organised a summer school with PSI in 2002 in Zuoz, MaNEP organized two successful summer schools at SaasFee (2004, 2006). About 70 students followed lectures given by international experts. A large part of the students were MaNEP doctoral students, but the school also admitted students from other countries. 40 | Guide 2008

Slide 45: Public Relations • News on website • Electronic Newsletter • Visit of international delegation of science journalists Third Party Cooperation (in progress) Programmes Topics Nanoscale science’s research focuses at the nanometer scale. This is the scale of the matter building blocks, namely, and molecules. atoms Therefore, at this scale the traditional scientific disciplines merge, giving place to a highly interdisciplinary interaction between physicists, chemists, physicians, biologists, pharmacologists, computer scientists and engineers. This is clearly reflected in the very interdisciplinary work carried out within the NCCR Nanoscale Science, where scientists from different disciplines come together to gain insight in this field and develop further the methods, scientific tools and understanding achieved. The goal of the teams taking part in this network is to come up with outstanding scientific achievements that will secure the position of the NCCR as a leader in the nanoscale science. The different and strongly interconnected topics covered by the researchers include: Impact of nanoscale science on life sciences and medicine, biology at the nanoscale, molecular machinery and nanorobotics, quantum devices and systems for computing and communication and quantum coherence, nanoscale science at the ultimate limits, nanomaterials ranging from biological systems, carbonnanotubes to nanoclusters and molecular electronics. • Frontiers • HYSWITCH • NanoBio-RAISE • Pico-Inside Research Institutions • Anorganische Chemie, Universität Heidelberg, DE • Applied and Environmental Chemistry Dept., University of Szeged, HU • Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Research organization (CSIRO), Melbourne, AU • Biophysical Engineering, University of Twente, NL • Biotechnologisches Zentrum, TU Dresden, DE • Center for Nanoscience, Ludwig-MaximiliansUniversität, Munich, DE • Center for Spintronics and Quantum Computation, University of California, Santa Barbara, US • Centre d'Elaboration de Matériaux et d'Études Structurales, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Toulouse, FR • Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices, Trinity College Dublin, IE • Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Istituto per la Sintesi Organica e la Fotoreattivita, Bologna, IT • Dépt. de Chimie, Inst. de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires, Strasbourg, FR • Dept. of Biochemistry, Duke University, Chapel Hill, US • Dept. of Biophysical and Electronic Engineering University of Genoa, IT • Dept. of Chemistry, Lab.

These efforts resulted in the foundation of the Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI), a long-term science program initiated by the authorities of the canton of Aargau. The SNI includes the world-renowned network of the NCCR Nanoscale Science, and the Argovia Network, which has been established in 2006. Interdisciplinary teams, made up in particular of physicists, chemists, biologists and medical specialists, are exploring nanoscale structures. The research results promise to provide impetus for the life sciences, sustainability and information and communications technology. which leads to the death of the whole cell. In collaboration between NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, University Neuchâtel, Nanosurf AG Liestal and University Basel an Atomic Force Microscope has been developed for extreme conditions and has been installed as a part of NASA’s most recent Mars Lander “Phoenix”,which has been launched in August 2007 and should land in May 2008.The project was partially financed by NASA,Minast and the Wolfermann-Nägeli foundation. The Mars-AFM will search the red planet for soil samples containing ice that should have made life on mars possible. Additionally, new insights about the climate change are expected from the mission. The formation of microscopically small Chladni figures within liquids has been investigated. The figures showed a behaviour that is highly dependent on the size of the particles. Micrometer sized particles do not assemble in the knot lines as would be expected, but between them. However, nanometer sized particles assemble again in the knot lines, like millimeter particles do.This finding may lead to a new technique to separate particles according to their size. Highly permeable polymeric membranes based on the incorporation of a natural water channel protein have been developed. They show a water permeability that is two orders of magnitude larger that the permeability of commercial products used in desalination facilities. Theoretically the permeability should be increased by three orders of magnitude and could become an important milestone in the future production of potable water. Know-how and technology transfer The NCCR Nanoscale Science continued its efforts in the knowledge transfer to High Schools. More than 250 pupils visited the NCCR laboratories and glanced at actual research. The University of Basel’s first spin-off company “Nanosurf AG” has been awarded the Swiss Technology Award 2007 “Inventing the future”. Education The Bachelor and Master curriculum on Nanoscience at the University of Basel has been consolidated and is completely integrated into the Science faculty. In 2007, 18 Bachelor diploma as well as the first 4 Master diplomas have been handed over to the first students in Nanoscience. Communication The travelling exhibition “Nanorama” that has been developed in 2006 for the international conference ICN+T has been shown at various occasions in Bern, Basel, Berlin and in the German amusement park Europapark. In April, the opening of a new Science Center “Science House” in the agglomeration of Freiburg im Breisgau took place. Our NCCR developed a special exhibition section on Nanoscale Science. In February, a workshop addressing the toxicity of nanoparticles attracted more than 100 participants. In June a European delegation of 32 science journalists visited the NCCR Nanoscale science and the SNI.From the visit,various press articles resulted in different European newspapers and magazines. Further information see www.nccr-nano.org. Scientific Highlights By means of AFM in-vitro measurements, the mechanism as to how large molecules can actively penetrate into the nucleus has been investigated and has been completely unravelled. The cargo molecules have to associate with certain transport receptors that are bound to the tentacle proteins of the pore. The tentacles drag the cargo molecules into the nucleus and the binding to the tentacle is finally released. Isolated mitochondrial membranes have been imaged by atomic force microscopy. It has been shown that these membranes contain Voltage Dependent Anion Channels (VDAC). Mitochondria play an important role in the process of the apoptose,one of the natural suicide programs of cells. After penetration of certain proteins from the mitochondria into the inner cell, some “killer proteins” are activated, 44 | Guide 2008

Slide 49: Topics Since Einstein’s famous discoveries in the early 1900s, we know that light exhibits a double nature – it can be considered as both a wave and as a stream of photons. This is the so-called quantum behavior. In the very same way, particles such as electrons bear the same duality.Therefore, at an infinitesimal scale, the interaction of light with matter can be manipulated, revealing novel phenomena that might prove useful. From this starting point, scientists at the NCCR Quantum Photonics conduct fundamental research as well as develop novel technologies that carry the potential for numerous future applications. For example: Quantum Cryptography guarantees transaction security by preventing hackers from intercepting messages transmitted trough an optical link. This fundamental approach was applied for the first time in securing the Swiss federal elections in October and November 2007, in the Geneva State. The link http://nccrqp.epfl.ch/page19465.html shows the press campaign organised around this event. For the second phase 20052008, we currently have 15 projects covering a wide range of fields such as quantum optics, advanced photonics applications and advanced light sources. Besides oriented research and technology transfer, the NCCR Quantum Photonics also supports workshops and scientific camps for 11-13 year old girls demonstrating that mathematics and physics are rewarding. These activities promote and strengthen long-term excellence in the field of photonics in Switzerland.

Since the beginning of the NCCR, more than 600 papers have appeared in scientific journals and 400 conference presentations have been given by scientists of the different teams.To select just a few, the NCCR is proud of the following ones: First time demonstration of how a Bose Einstein Condensate may build up in a disordered landscape in a solid (Nature Cover page, 443, September 2006). Demonstration of a strong coupling between a single quantum dot and a nanocavity (Nature, 445, February 2007). Fabrication of a photonic crystal based THz Quantum Cascade Laser computed for efficient extraction of the emitted light (common publication in J. Appl. Phys. 101, april, 2007 of NCCR QP Project Leaders). Development of a process for etching blazed MEMS gratings, which led to compact efficient MEMS tunable gratings for applications in tunable lasers and miniature spectrometers (Possible commercialization by Daylight solutions). dustrial world has been achieved with the financing of small industrial projects: 7 projects are running, already showing excellent results. Finding matching funds from Industry or support organizations is worth while. European collaborations NCCR research groups are actively involved in 20 Projects sponsored by the European Community, that are strong foundation for the future of Photonics in Switzerland and for the European Research and Development Programmes: FP7 Education and Knowledge transfer, Adv of Woman The Photonic Doctoral School is developing a “Tandem Partner Program” allowing PhD’s from all over Switzerland to share and exchange their scientific experience. Strong collaboration with the Equal Opportunity Office and the NCCR MICS allows us to leverage on existing initiatives to promote women and youngsters in the scientific world through tangible actions: 6 scientific camps are organized each year,industry visits,networking events and invited guest’s seminars. The “Polythèque” has been created in order for youngsters to get in touch with scientific medias, to learn and to ask questions around afternoon themes… Further information see http://nccr-qp.epfl.ch Spin-offs and Technology Transfer Many Spin-off companies have been created by NCCR Scientists: AlpesLasers, BeamExpress, IDQuantique, Timebandwidth and a new venture challenge Attolight, sponsored by an EPFL Innogrant.

The NCCR is particularly concerned with technologies coordinating natural input modes (such as speech, image, pen, touch, hand gestures, head and/or body movements, and even physiological sensors) with multimedia system outputs, such as speech, sounds, images, 3D graphics and animation. The field of multimodal interaction covers a wide range of activities and applications, including the recognition and interpretation of spoken, written and gestured languages, computer vision, and the automatic indexation and management of multimedia documents. Other important related themes are information content protection, data access control, and the structuring, retrieval and presentation of multimedia information. Multimodal interfaces represent a new, highly strategic direction for information technologies of the future. Thanks to such interfaces, man-machine interactions will become simpler and, by consequence, more productive. In the near future, multimedia systems equipped with such interfaces will be flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of users, tasks and environments for which current interaction modalities (such as keyboard, mouse and screen) are insufficient. In first instance, ideal interfaces would be capable of manipulating more complex and realistic data, including the combination of different forms of data, such as audio and video. The IM2 NCCR, headed by IDIAP Research Institute in Martigny, combines many partners from a number of university institutions (EPFL, University of Geneva, University of Fribourg, University of Bern, ETHZ), as well as HES (Sion, Sierre, etc.), and a range of commercial companies. The NCCR also has numerous international contacts, including an agreement for the exchange of young researchers with ICSI in Berkeley, California.

IM2 is also recognised worldwide for its contributions in related areas such as speech and language understanding, computer vision, multichannel processing and fusion, and multimedia indexing. Knowledge Dissemination/ Technology Transfer IM2 is among the creators of the series of international Multimodal Interaction and Related Machine Learning Algorithms (MLMI) work-shops. IM2 fostered the creation of several start-up companies, such as Spiderphone.ch, Anteleon Imaging,... Thanks to IM2, IDIAP and its subsidiary IdeArk S.A. are a core component of the new Economic Development strategy of the Canton of Valais. IM2 supports a new Female Fellowship programme aimed specifically at boosting the careers of female researchers. Structural Impact IM2 has an excellent integration in the ERA (European Research Area) through several key FP6 projects, especially the Integrated Projects AMI, AMIDA (www.amiproject.org), DIRAC (www.diracproject.org), as well as other EU Projects such as MAIA (www.maiaproject.org), BACS (in collaboration with ETHZ), and so on. So far, the most impressive structural impact of IM2 is also at the level of the Leading House IDIAP , turning a local research institute into a large, worldwide recognised, research institution, often quoted for its work, publications, or simply as an example of dynamism and international integration. Further information see www.im2.ch Meeting Recordings IM2 is among the first projects worldwide to focus on multimodal meeting recordings, which is now attracting more and more attention. IM2 thus works on large multimodal databases, and makes them available to the scientific community. IM2 is not only significantly contributing to the field, but is also in a good position to set up international research and development standards. Young and Female Researchers The exchange programme supported by IM2 helped create a privileged relationship between Swiss researchers institutions, and the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) in Berkeley/USA. IM2 has made significant efforts to increase the visibility of women active in science (public events, publications, meeting recordings). Others • HASLER Foundation, CH Guide 2008 | 51

Slide 57: Topics The fundamental target of this NCCR is to understand, realise, and demonstrate the potential, which information technology offers for the optimisation of medical interventions in order to improve the treatment of individual patients and overall health care for society as a whole. The focus of the NCCR is on the development, integration and validation of enabling technologies towards advanced computer aided, image guided systems for medical interventions that support the complete treatment process from therapeutic planning and simulation via intraoperative action to postoperative care, monitoring and documentation. In addition, the utility of the underlying strategies and concepts for novel forms of medical education and training is being explored. Achievements Basic and applied research Major advances achieved in biomedical simulation allow modelling the complex behaviour of living human tissue. Numerous applications have been developed for the optimal support of a variety of medical interventions by functional pre-operative planning, as well as for offering realistic skill training environments for surgical residents using high-fidelity training simulators. For surgical navigation, different devices have been realised including a small, costsaving optical tracking system marketed by our spin-off Atracsys. Another highlight for the integration of advanced sensor technology into surgical environment is the intraoperative force-measuring device supporting balancing the ligaments during total knee arthroplasty. A recent initiative on sensor integration into othopaedic instruments and implants is further advancing precise intra-operative support and post-operative follow-up. Force feedback for improving medical diagnosis, therapy, and education belongs to the main areas of competence. computer-aided surgery including BrainLAB. Advancement of women The scientific career of female clinicians is supported every year by a research grant.The organisation of the annual research-networking workshop is headed by female PhD-students. • Kantonsspital Luzern, CH • Klinik für Plastische Chirurgie, Klinikum rechts der Isar der TU München, München, DE • Medical University of Silesia, Katowice, PL • MeVis, Zentrum für Medizinische Diagnosesysteme und Visualisierung, Bremen, DE • Paul Scherrer Inst., Villigen, CH • Poliklinik für Kieferorthopädie, Ludwig Maximilians-Universität, München, DE • Precision and Intelligence Lab. at Tokyo Inst. of Technology, Tokyo, JP • Robotics Lab., Stanford University, US • Sint Maartenskliniek, Nijmegen, NL • Surgery Dept., University of Sherbrooke, CA • University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Health System, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, US • Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center (VMASC) at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, US Economy / Industry • ABW GmbH, Frickenhausen, DE • Atracsys SARL, Bottens, CH • Boston Scientific, Natick, US • BrainLAB AG, Heimstetten, DE • Celon AG, Teltow/Berlin, DE • Cochlear AG, Lausanne, CH • Computive Surgery llc, Ecublens, CH • Ethicon GmbH (Johnson & Johnson), Norderstedt, DE • Force Dimension, Lausanne, CH • Fotona, Ljubljana, SI • General Electric Health Care, Milwaukee, US • Hansen Medical, Palo Alto, US • Helbling Technik Bern AG, CH • Image Guided Therapy SA, Pessac, FR • InSightec - Image Guided Treatment Ltd., Tirat Carmel, IL • Kontron Medical AG, Basel, CH Education and Training The members of the NCCR play a decisive role in creating new Master Curricula: Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering (University of Berne) – with the focus areas Musculoskeletal System and Microsensor and Actuator interTechnology – and departmental Master of Biomedical Engineering (ETH Zurich).

Slide 61: Topics Wireless communication is fundamentally changing the way we use information technology: information becomes embedded into our physical environment by means of personal devices and embedded computers, and the physical environment becomes increasingly intertwined with the Internet information space through sensor and actuator technology. In parallel with this qualitative change, the number of devices and the amount of information is growing exponentially. Classical models of designing and controlling centralized IT systems will not be able to scale up. Decentralized approaches, based on self-organization principles, need to be studied and developed in order to master the complexity of the resulting systems. The NCCR MICS is tackling exactly these problems, combining the study of the fundamental principles (network structures, distributed algorithms, information and communication theory) that will underlie these nextgeneration systems, and an engineering and empirical approach by developing and deploying platforms (wireless sensor technology, ad-hoc networks, in-network information processing, verification) and testing technologies in applications, as well as looking at economic implications. A particularly interesting class of applications, from a Swiss perspective, will be the environmental monitoring of the behaviour of landslide, permafrost and glaciers. The NCCR MICS strongly believes that this mutual exchange between theoretical work and systems/applications will lead to real progress and to fruitful technology transfer.

Applications With SensorScope we have now a system that is routinely deployed by environmental scientists for fine-grained monitoring of environmental parameters in the alpine region. It is also a core technology in the Swiss Experiment, a new joint initiative with the CCES center of the ETH domain and Microsoft Research. The goal of this initiative is to provide environmental scientists with next-generation e-science platforms, supporting data acquisition based on wireless sensor networks and featuring Web-based tools for data analysis and collaborative research.Other applications explore the use of mobility and control in wireless sensing. A new robot has been tested in the wind tunnel for implementing an odor source location system. We also performed a case study on building control at the ETH campus using wireless sensor networks, to locate energy leaks and optimize energy consumption. Further information see www.mics.org Deployment and data management deployment-support A network (DSN) strictly separating the parts that are dependent and independent of the target architecture has been developed, resulting in a target-independent toolkit that is easy to install and use. The DSN has successfully been applied in a case study on wireless fire detectors in cooperation with Siemens Building Technology. With SwissQM we have developed a virtual machine for sensor networks that facilitates the development of applications by migrating data processing tasks into the sensor nodes. For efficiently publishing and processing sensor data, we have built Global Sensor Network (GSN), a middleware platform connecting sensor networks to the Internet in a plug-and-play style. Algorithms Among the fundamental problems investigated are distributed consensus algorithms and wireless routing protocols. We provided average and worst case analysis of a new class of efficient consensus algorithms minimizing the communication overhead. We developed novel routing algorithms for temporarily disconnected wireless networks exploiting node mobility and considering realistic mobility models.

Thus the main research questions during the second phase (2005-09) relate to the analysis and the modelling of risks.They are examined in four FINRISK research modules as follows: – Asset Pricing and Portfolio Management: How do risks affect asset prices and investors’ portfolio decisions? – Corporate Finance: How do risks affect corporations’ fundamental decisions? – Risk Management: How should financial and nonfinancial risks be quantified and managed? – Quantitative Methods in Finance: Which are the mathematical and statistical tools that are necessary to provide meaningful answers to the above cited research questions? Achievements In the following we identify four main areas in which substantial achievements have been generated since the start of FINRISK in 2001. ties within the Swiss financial services industry. The constant interactions with practitioners at conferences, workshops and seminars contribute to install a mutually beneficial dialogue with the Swiss finance community. Swiss Finance Institute PhD program in finance. Structural Effects The activities of FINRISK have contributed to the fact that both the Universities of Zurich and Lausanne have recently declared Finance to be one of their top priority research areas. In 2006, the Swiss Bankers recognising Association, the importance of research and high level education in finance for the reputation of the Financial Centre Switzerland, has launched the Swiss Finance Institute that aims to secure and extend the research and educational efforts of FINRISK in the long-term, see also www.swissfinanceinstitute.ch . Further information see www.nccr-finrisk.uzh.ch Research By now our research efforts have reached a phase of maturation. Within the first five years FINRISK has produced about 350 working papers. Furthermore our research work has generated more than 200 publications in internationally renowned academic journals. Please check our website for more detailed information on our research output. Education A close cooperation between the doctoral programmes in Geneva and Lausanne, Lugano, Sankt Gallen as well as in Zurich has been established over the past years. We now offer a large variety of specialised doctoral courses in finance to more than 100 students from Swiss universities. Furthermore, the annual Swiss Doctoral Workshop in Finance provides an ideal forum for our students to present their research to a mix of local and international faculty. Ultimately, our efforts have led to the launching of the Knowledge transfer Starting with the dissemination of the booklet “Risk and Risky Management”, and following up with two conference series on applied research topics, we have attempted to popularise our research activi- Guide 2008 | 63

Especially in the natural sciences, many new insights can only be realized with iconic methods. Images no longer illustrate what was first thought; they now represent an independent mode of thinking. The knowledge society has become a society of images. This transformation can probably only be compared with such epochal moments as the invention of the printing press or the general spread of literacy since the eighteenth century. Now we are all users and producers of images – but without necessarily understanding how they create meaning, how their power is generated, and what becomes of reality when it is understood as a function of the flexible perspective of the image. That is the starting point for our project: the image-oriented society is increasingly dependent on iconic criticism if it wants to master its problems. The paradigm of the image, which had not previously existed, deserves the scholarly attention language has received for centuries. Linguistics is a matter of course; iconic criticism must be one, too. The two complement each other – but only if the particular capacity of the image can be determined. This demands a fundamental reorientation, for we are used to identifying knowledge with language. The meaning potentials of the image create new openings to the present, to history and tradition, and into the future. An iconic criticism that addresses epistemic principles and exemplary applications is – as mentioned above – the task of a generation. 66 | Guide 2008

Slide 71: Third Party Cooperation (international cooperations only) Programmes • Global Trading System IADB-WTO Joint Research Programme • SFB 597 “Transformations of the State”, University of Bremen, DE Topics WTO rules increasingly impinge upon areas of law and policy including environmental protection, agricultural and regional policies, labour standards, human rights and culture. The purpose of NCCR Trade Regulation is to develop innovative, concrete policy recommendations that reflect a better balance between economic and other regulatory objectives, taking into consideration insights from the disciplines of law, economics and political science. Substainability will be a key criterion for all proposals. The project is premised on the idea that academia is going to have an increasingly important role to play in conceptualizing the regulatory debates of the future, and, in particular, elucidating the value-related choices enjeux. Such thinking has to take place outside of the political arena as it cannot be based on short-term rationales.

This can be clearly seen from modern communication technologies which have brought about a fundamental change in our societies. However, the phenomenon can also be observed in earlier eras which possess their own form of mediality. The National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) “Mediality. Historical perspectives” looks into the link between the forming of cultural meaning and media forms and how this has changed over the passage of time. Its 20 individual projects are purposely not devoted primarily to the present day, its mass media and diverse media theories. The study instead looks mainly at the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period, in other words the very era which saw the emergence of the conditions leading to modern mediality. In the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period writing was by no means a customary skill but was surrounded by an aura. There were no mass media at that time. Communication was a face to face interchange. However, wideranging changes also took place in these times. Communication networks developed, the use of paper increased, new types and combinations of texts and images emerged and the printing press broadened communication. This development can be best observed where there is an interface between or transformation of media forms, where they become the subject of discussion and reflection. The aim of the NCCR “Mediality. Historical perspectives” is to plumb the historical dimensions of mediality, to provide an insight into the various forms, phenomena and processes, categories, models and metaphors in which communication appears. The objective is also to combine historical and systematic perspectives and to present the situation today in a more focused light. Leading house is the Competence Centre for Medieval Studies at Zurich University. The Universities of Basel, Freiburg and Geneva are also participating in the project which encompasses historical and linguistic sciences, cultural and art sciences.

Slide 77: Topics Well-functioning democratic processes and institutions constitute the backbone of political legitimacy, social stability, economic growth, and prosperity. However, a realistic assessment of the state of democracy today must acknowledge that democratic regimes are faced with serious challenges that threaten to undermine their legitimacy. Citizens in Western democracies are increasingly disillusioned with their political leaders and institutions. Beyond established liberal democracies, the process of democratization has proven to be more difficult than expected. The NCCR Democracy wants to show why and explain what can be done about it. It examines two key challenges to democracy in the 21st century: On the one hand, nationstates are suffering from a severe loss of problemsolving capacity in the wake of globalization. On the other hand, the “mediatization of politics,” i.e. the intrusion of the media into the political process, constitutes a serious threat to traditional models of representative democracy and profoundly alters the character of public debate. While both developments are real threats to the democratic process, they also represent opportunities for new forms of political participation and representation, as well as for political legitimation. The main goals of the NCCR Democracy are to propose designs for new political decision-making processes and to devise strategies to improve the quality of democracy. The NCCR is based on four basic research modules and a fifth applied research module charged with finding practical applications that implement the research results. The NCCR also provides an interdisciplinary doctoral program in its two core disciplines – political science and media and communication science.

Research issues being addressed by the NCCR’s scientists and scholars fall into three major areas: 1) Emotion elicitation and response patterning (the role of brain structures, individual predispositions, cognitive appraisal, and situational factors; patterning of emotional responses and action tendencies; communication of emotion); 2) Emotion regulation (control of bodily reactions and feelings by social norms and interpersonal expectations; ability to cope with emotions to avoid stress and burnout; loss of control as a risk factor for affective disorders such as pathological anxiety and depression); 3) Emotion in social processes (affective processes in family, workplace, and society as a whole; the role of social norms and values in shaping the nature of the emotional response and its control; the role of religion and myths; the socializing function of shame; effects of economic and socio-political changes on affective experiences and wellbeing). Special emphasis is being placed on the application of research findings to deal with social issues in the areas of health, work and organizations, the family, law, the problem of violence, economics, and the arts. The NCCR is also committed to training the first generation of “affective scientists”.
