EPFL & ETH Zurich | The federal institutes of technology and the FSO join forces in data science and artificial intelligence for the public good

Another office for the Swiss Data Science Center will be established at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI. To this end, the ETH Board has approved an increase of five million Swiss francs in the budget of the strategic focus area Data Science. The main aim of this expansion is to help improve the evaluation and processing of the growing amounts of data from large and complex research infrastructures, sensor networks, and databases at PSI and the other three federal research institutes, Empa, WSL, and Eawag. The resources and expertise will be available to all institutes in the ETH Domain.

Researchers at Eawag and the Swiss Data Science Center have trained AI algorithms to predict how toxic chemicals are to fish.
