| Summary: | Research and development are central to long-term success in sport. Surprisingly, research and development in and with sport plays a minor role in Switzerland as a center of research and innovation. Sport is barely visible institutionally at universities, universities of applied sciences or teacher training colleges. Sport hardly benefits from the funds available from the federal government. Research and development are not very present in the private sector. Research and development in and with sport is not institutionally anchored in sports associations and organizations.
A number of studies are currently being carried out to learn more about the situation research and development in sport and determine how and in which areas sport could become more and better embedded in Switzerland strong research and innovation system. In the workshop on "Sport in the Swiss Research and Innovation Landscape", three small studies will be presented in a compact one-hour format. They all provide insights into the institutional embedding of sport in Switzerland research, development and innovation system and make suggestions for strengthening research driven innovations in sport and in sport science.
