| Swiss Federal Office for Education and Science (SER) | ||||||||||||
|
The Federal Office for Education and Science (SER) is responsable for the implementation of the Swiss research policy. It provides the funding of the Swiss Scientific Academies and financial support for participants in the Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development of the European Union as well as in COST (European Co-operation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research). SER maintains an information network for Swiss participants in European research programmes. |

| F.-A. Forel Institute | ||||||||||||
|
The F.-A. Forel Institute is active in the field of natural sciences
: limnology, environmental geochemistry, ecotoxicology and quaternary
geology. It belongs to the section of Earth Sciences of the University
of Geneva. |

| Limnogeology, ETH Zürich | ||||||||||||
|
Established in the 1970's, the Limnogeology Group at the Geological Institute, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zürich, Switzerland, has a wide experience in lake and lake-sediment-based studies. |

| Paleontology, University of Zürich | ||||||||||||
|
Research at the Palaeontological Institute and Museum of the University of Zurich focuses on the palaeobiology of marine environments of the Middle Triassic, some 230 to 240 million years ago. Palaeoecology, taphonomy and biostratigraphy are the main fields of study, but work is also carried out on the morphology and systematics of marine reptiles, fish, bivalves and ammonoids. Fieldwork and excavations are currently being conducted in fossiliferous beds in the Ducan Mountains near Davos (Canton of the Grisons), at Monte San Giorgio (Canton of Ticino), and in the Lombardy Alps and the Dolomites (Italy). |

| Geosciences, Université de Fribourg | ||||||||||||
| Detailed facies analysis, high-resolution sequence- and cyclostratigraphic correlations, and palaeoecological studies lead to a realistic understanding of ancient depositional environments. We also work on Cretaceous to Recent planktonic and benthic foraminifera, their biostratigraphy and their response to local and global environmental changes. |
