SR21 - Scientific Research in the 21st century Our processes are tailored to best fit the needs of our students

Our academics, research groups, and experts provide solutions to the challenges faced by students, society, and the economy, with the people of our institute working across disciplines to help businesses, communities, and policymakers benefit from our research outputs. We wish to make our research findings and the expertise of our graduates available to society as effectively as possible.

About us

Our institute is an extensive organization made up of different facilities and departments. We offer direct access to industry-leading scientists who are used to working with both the industries that we serve and those new to using contract research organizations (CROs) analytical projects equipped to research. Our processes are tailored to best fit the needs of society, our students, and researchers, and we assist them in defining their goals.

Short history:
- The mid-90s: Activities in the academic sector established worldwide with universities and university alliances. More than 10.000 students have been accommodated in academic programs until 2010. Countries of interest: UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, and USA.

- August 2010: The Institute for Scientific Research was established in Cyprus with the scope of Knowledge and Technology transfer to governmental bodies and large corporations worldwide. Today we have research groups working on different disciplines and projects.

- April 2017: SR21 - Institute for Scientific Research, Zurich has been established based on the rules, regulations, and laws of Switzerland as a Private Institution offering certificates, diplomas, and degrees at all levels (Professional Tertiary Education) based on the VPET (Swiss) and ECTS (EU). Today we offer Advanced qualifications worldwide. Our degree programs run and are assessed based on the model of international regulations of research degrees.

Our programs offer advanced education designed to prepare our graduates to work in a specific field or discipline. Similar to other degrees, our Advanced degrees are considered terminal degrees or the highest degree you can achieve in an area.

Moreover, Advanced Studies programs are specifically geared toward a particular career profile. They are awarded in Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Germany, and various other countries in the world, as higher continuing education (‘Weiterbildung’) degrees.

Knowledge and Learning are for All

Our researchers conduct research under the supervision of top researchers and as part of an international research community. In addition, a research degree always includes scientific studies that support the researchers’ competence in their study area as well as their future career prospects. Utilize our services when you want to recruit a trainee or want to suggest a thesis topic. Our students have a wide range of expertise: in addition to helping students specialize in their field, advanced studies foster other useful skills and the ability to manage extensive sets of information. Students can bring new ideas to your company.

Diversity in educationEvery culture, every nationality, every single person sees the world in a different way

Diversity enriches the educational experience by creating an inclusive and dynamic learning environment essential for creative inquiry. An important goal in diversity education is helping students recognize their biases. Whether they are implicit or explicit, biases stem from reliance on common cognitive heuristics that help people navigate their complex social world. Thus, they are part of being human.
