UZH is pooling its research expertise in a variety of fields, including Eastern European studies and bioimage analysis. A new interdisciplinary institute for Eastern European studies and the recently established BioVisionCenter were made possible thanks to seed funding from the university’s TRANSFORM program.

TRANSFORM boosts interdisciplinary cooperation at UZH. The funding program provides seed funding that helps translate innovative ideas into reality and transform new organizational structures in pioneering research fields. Four projects have already benefited from the program since 2022: the One Health Institute, the Center for Legal Data Science, the UZH Population Research Center, and Operation Room X, a translational center for surgical research and training. Two new promising projects can now be added to this list.
Over the next four years, the TRANSFORM program is providing CHF 2 million to help establish a new UZH department focused on Eastern European studies. The program is also backing the BioVisionCenter, which aims to become an innovative center dedicated to driving research and development in computational bioimage analysis, a field that is becoming more and more important for researchers. The project has been awarded seed funding of CHF 1.32 million over the next three years.
