Research at the University of St.Gallen
Research is a mainstay of our University and is an important foundation for teaching. It is especially important to us in this regard that the research has a practical application.
Basis for teaching
The focus of our research activities is on the expansion of scientific knowledge. Basic research geared to problem solving together with our practical orientation is an important basis for the education of our students.
Attractive research conditions
Ambitious faculty members research, support and pass on their knowledge to others. As an acclaimed centre of research, we thus continue to provide both young and experienced academics with attractive research conditions. Junior researchers are specifically supported at the HSG.
Research is tomorrow’s knowledge
Curiosity, active research and the continued learning of our researchers ensure highly relevant insight and knowledge at the HSG. In the interests of our students and faculty members, we believe it is vital to keep up to date in order to play a key role in the well-being of society as a whole.
We believe playing an active role in shaping and promoting research is vital. The purpose of these reports is to tell you all about what is new in research.
We carry out basic and applied research at a high level and have a wide range of research areas.
The HSG supports researchers in seeking external funding, submitting research applications, training and employing research methods, and planning academic careers.
The Alexandria Research Platform and its three “P’s” (standing for projects, publications, personal profiles) reflects the variety of research at the HSG.
As part of our focal fields of study, we carry out cutting-edge research in two areas of major relevance to society.
To cover issue-related research, so-called profile areas are developed at the HSG. They are oriented towards HSG research as a whole.
We are happy to answer any questions about projects and associated funding, researchers or funding programmes.
