Public Relations in NCCRs

Recently, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) monitored public relation activities of all 14 NCCRs for the Swiss Forschungsrat. Among others, the SNF evaluated the websites of the NCCRs. The NCCR website (www.nccr-nano.org) won all points that could be achieved during this evaluation. Additionally, the SNF clearly stated that public relations activities have to become a constant activity of the NCCRs, and that a clear communication concept has to be part of the next application for further funding.
