The Swiss Youth in Science Foundation supports not only talented individuals from the academic world, but also those from vocational education and training. Every year, the Swiss Youth in Science Foundation recognises outstanding projects in its national competition and connects talented individuals at an international level. One such person is Noel Rhyner, who – after having completed his vocational education and training – is now studying at ETH Zurich.

Geopolitical turmoil and technological upheavals create major challenges for Switzerland. Education is essential to securing economic stability, social cohesion and individual opportunities in the long term. The Swiss Education Report 2026 highlights both the strengths and weaknesses of the education system.
