DSI Infrastructure & Lab Call

The research program of the «Digitalization Initiative of the Zurich Universities (DIZH)» finances the creation or promotion of infrastructures and labs. The terms «infrastructure» and «lab» are deliberately broadly defined.

The focus is on the establishment of jointly usable infrastructures or structural vessels to promote collabora-tive settings for research that touches upon the idea of digital transformation. The bundling of existing competencies and persons should enable synergies and new forms of cooperation.

Examples include regular, pur-pose-oriented meetings of researchers to jointly develop solutions, the combination of existing infrastructures or the development of new ones that are conducive to interdisciplinary cooperation. Applications which focus on «Data Repositories» are particularly welcomed (i.e., applications that investigate how the UZH could create a data repository for a broad range of disciplines). However, the DSI Infrastructure & Lab Call is not aimed at supporting projects or careers.
