PSI in brief
New technologies are the engine for an innovative society. At PSI, researchers create the necessary foundations. They search for previously unknown possibilities in data processing and storage, make technologies more sustainable and more powerful, and develop new methods for plunging ever deeper into the micro- and nano-worlds. Their findings form the basis for new applications – whether in medicine, information technology, or energy production and storage – or for new industrial manufacturing processes.
With 2300 employees and an annual budget of 460 million Swiss francs, PSI is the largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences in Switzerland. It is the central location of Switzerland’s large research facilities. As part of the ETH Domain, PSI is a key pillar in the Swiss research landscape and conducts cutting-edge research in the fields of Future Technologies, Energy and Climate, Health Innovation and Fundamentals of Nature. By collaborating with industry, PSI strengthens the innovative power of Switzerland as a business location. Additionally, through the founding of spin-offs, PSI transfers its latest scientific findings directly into the economy. PSI is already investing today in the experts of tomorrow: around a quarter of PSI employees are postdoctoral researchers, PhD students or trainees.
