Our new initiative with ETH Zurich and the ICRC gives our work added meaning because we know what we do will have a concrete, positive impact on people’s daily lives.

The potential of digital technologies to support humanitarian action is still largely untapped. In this partnership with the EPFL and the ICRC, we combine our expertise for those who are affected worldwide from conflicts.

Fast advances in science and technology offer huge potential to unlock innovation for greater humanitarian impact. Through this partnership over the past two years, we have carried out 12 research projects with ETH and EPFL to help ICRC assist the most vulnerable more effectively. As we turn research findings into action, there is much more to come!
