Profile
The FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland dedicates a fair amount of resources to space projects. Representing the cantons of Aargau, Basel, Basel-Landschaft, and Solothurn, near the borders of Germany and France, and midway between the cities of Basel and Zurich, it exploits its strategic position for the success of its endeavors in this domain. Its research program involves national and international partners from industry and academy, therefore creating a link between these two poles. In particular, the School of Engineering leads several national and international initiatives that include hardware construction, software development, and project management.
