Key numbers of SSPH+

As of 2023, the SSPH+ Foundation incorporates 12 Swiss universities, 17 Honorary Fellows, 20 institutes (with 2 or more faculty members) and more than 70 institutes with a single faculty member (see the SSPH+ expert database), 250 Faculty members, 400 PhD students and 30 MAS/DAS/CAS programs led by SSPH+ Faculty members. SSPH+ is coordinated by its Directorate office – a lean administrative structure to orchestrate collaborations and activities and it is funded by the Foundation universities (core funding) and grants as well as donations (project funding).

The strategic focus of SSPH+ is rooted in three pillars of prime relevance for public health sciences:

• Fostering RESEARCH
• Facilitating TRAINING & EDUCATION
• Supporting SCIENCE TO POLICY
