Key facts
For years, the financial resources earmarked by Parliament for innovation and project subsidies for vocational and professional education and training have never been fully utilised. The Financing and Project Support division at the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) is unable to allocate all of the available funds to specific projects. Despite this, funding has increased in recent years, going from CHF 40 million in 2017 to just under CHF 63 million in 2022.
