Case study: University of Zurich (UZH) – EnhanceR Project

The University of Zurich is a major Swiss University founded in 1833, with around 6,500 staff and 26,000 students.

S3IT is a specialist unit within the central IT services, to serve the needs of all research groups with specialist research computing services and infrastructures. It supports UZH researchers and research groups in using IT to empower their research, from consultancy to application support and access to cutting-edge cloud, cluster and supercomputing systems.

S3IT coordinated the EnhanceR project, a national Swiss effort to federate support in Research IT, involving most of the country’s major universities.
