Project Mapping
Taking advantage of the first annual reports, SPHN Projects were requested to provide information on infrastructure built in 2018 in a structured way, determining the research orientation of their project as well as degree of implementation. In 2019, this information was used to create a first mapping and to start a gap analysis.
The mapping shows that many domains are covered by the projects, however, it seems that more activities in the “patient or citizen oriented” and “national repositories, technology and analytical networks” domains might be needed. Explore the diagram and hover over the project abbreviations to display the full name of the project.

Project Collaborations
24 SPHN Driver and Infrastructure Development Projects:
35 Swiss organizations and Institutions contributing to the research.
13 Infrastructure Development Projects:
Developing and testing new technologies, methods and infrastructures at single or joint sites, to be made available to other institutions after proof of concept (CHF 3.7 million).
11 Driver Projects:
Guiding the development of SPHN by “test driving” the infrastructures and interoperability for multi-site research in a specific area or pathology. Each driver project typically involves multiple “data providers” (predominantly University Hospitals, but also Universities and analytic platforms) as well as teams of “data recipients” who analyze the data, which is securely transferred from the “data providers” to the “data recipients” via the BioMedIT network (CHF 21.6 million).
