Nano-Tera

Nano-Tera.ch was a Swiss national research program launched in 2008 to promote applications of nanotechnology in areas such as health, security, and the environment. Created by the ETH Board and the Swiss University Conference on behalf of the Swiss federal government, the initiative aimed to consolidate Swiss research efforts in emerging technologies and improve national competitiveness. Federal officials described the program as a means to strengthen research capacity and anticipated private-sector participation.

The program concluded in 2017 after nine years of operation. It was supported by over CHF 120 million in federal funding and more than CHF 150 million from institutional and industry partners. One of its stated goals was to revitalize engineering research and education, particularly at Swiss universities.

A 2019 book published by Springer describes Nano-Tera.ch as a Swiss federal program that advanced system and device technologies in health, environment, and energy.
