Implementation Implementation involves two types of activities: The transfer of the research results into real-world applications (a useable product for those with a direct interest in the results). Programme participants communicating with the wider public. Besides the programme’s researchers, federal and cantonal services as well as interested parties from the scientific community, the economy, the administration and private associations are targeted by implementation. The wider public will be informed via the media and other communication channels. The implementation process aims to present the scientists’ results in the most efficient manner to decision makers so they can be discussed later at the political and public levels before being applied in the real world.
