What happens when an industrial park joins together multiple huge companies and small municipalities? The resulting impact on the region can overwhelm local planning capacity – or, with strategic vision and NCCR Automation research support, it can become a true powerhouse.

Through the Grid2050 project, we seek to accelerate the energy transition by bringing cutting-edge automation solutions to real electric grids. By working closely with industrial partners and policy makers, we are developing and deploying tools to ensure a stable and resilient renewables-driven energy network, in Switzerland and beyond.
Our research reaches wide as well as deep.
From theoretical foundations to cutting-edge innovation, we’re pushing automation forward.
For industry, we are a problem-solving partner.
For young researchers, the NCCR offers many opportunities.
For curious kids, we bring inspiration and support.
We know that diversity makes for better science as well as a better society.
