Facilitating the transfer of research results into practice

Research portfolio development, fundraising and funding are one of RESC’s strategic priorities. RESC actively facilitates exchange towards transdisciplinary collaborations in research, development and transfer, and supports internal collaborative research through competitive grants, financed via our strategic partners and other sources.

Our goal is to fill existing research gaps and link research topics with existing competences at ETH Zurich, our clinical partners and external stakeholders to overcome the challenges in rehabilitation and inclusion.

"RESC promotes the often missing connection of all phases and areas of rehabilitation and inclusion. This approach can also contribute to solving one of the main challenges in the field of assistive technologies: finding scalable and sustainable concepts to effectively and efficiently meet individual needs and perform easy adaptations to the endusers" says Dr Roland Sigrist, Head of CYBATHLON and ordinary member of the RESC.
