Switzerland

Country and People Switzerland is a small country of 41 284 square kilometres situated in the heart of Europe between France, Germany, Austria, the Principality of Liechtenstein (FL), and Italy. Its capital is Berne. The country is one of the most mountainous in Europe: the Alps, Pre-Alps, and Jura occupy more than two-thirds of its territory. These mountain regions contrast with the Swiss plateau, which is home to a large majority of the country’s nearly eight million people. More than two-thirds of the population live in urban areas. Zurich is Switzerland’s biggest city, with about 374 000 people. Four other cities have populations exceeding 100 000: Geneva, Basel, Berne and Lausanne. Zurich, Berne, and Geneva are all top-ranked with respect to quality of living, making them popular places of residence. Switzerland is home to many international organisations, including the second largest UN office (ILO, UNCTAD, UNHCR, WHO, etc.), the World Trade Organisation, the Red Cross, the World Economic Forum and the International Olympic Committee. Geographically diverse, Switzerland is diverse also in terms of its spoken languages. Despite its small size, the country has no fewer than four national languages. German is spoken by 64 % of the population, French by 20 %, Italian by 6.5 %, and Romansh by less than 1%. About 9 % speak other languages. A fifth of the population is made up of resident foreigners. Economy Switzerland’s unique education and training system offers a wide variety of educational options ranging from vocational training and apprenticeships to university-level educa- tion, and produces a well-qualified workforce at all levels. On account of Switzerland’s high-quality education system and its multicultural society, a large part of the population is fluent in several languages. As the workforce is generally highly motivated, Switzerland ranks fifth among the world’s leading national economies with respect to overall productivity. Switzerland’s small size has favoured the emergence of well-developed networks be- tween the various fields of expertise in research, development, and industry. Its location in the heart of Europe is another advantage. Situated at the nexus of European tech- nologies and cultures, Switzerland is also equidistant from America and Asia. Close ties with the EU assure direct links to European science and innovation programmes. Bilat- eral contracts with the EU provide Swiss-based companies with excellent market access to 500 million consumers. Around 4.5 million people work in Switzerland. The country has a flexible job market and the unemployment rate is very low. Last but not least, Switzerland has an ideal size – and spirit – to qualify as a pilot market in which manu- facturers can analyse market response to new products.

As this partici- (Addresses below) pation was not renewed after 1994, the State Secretariat for Education and Research SER funded indirect participation of Swiss institutions in selected activities of the EU edu- cation and training programmes. Thanks to these transitional measures, cooperation with European partners expanded significantly over the years. The mutual aim of having Switzerland rejoin future EU education programmes was expressed several times, and thanks to the Swiss-EU bilateral agreement signed in February 2010, Swiss participants are finally eligible for all Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) activities as of 2011. The programme includes specific sub-programmes for all educational levels, namely, Erasmus for higher education, Leonardo da Vinci for vocational education and training, Comenius for schools and Grundtvig for adult education. In addition, the EU supports a range of external programmes and policies focused in particular on higher education because of its importance in the development of modern societies and its key role in social, cultural and economic development. Switzerland is not associated with these programmes, but Swiss participants are usually accepted as a third-country partner, e. g. in Erasmus Mundus masters courses and doctoral programmes.
