The Swiss National Open Research Data (ORD) Strategy was initiated on the basis of the ORD Agreement between the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI), swissuniversities, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL).
The Swiss National ORD Strategy provides a framework for the development of practices built around sharing research data in Switzerland, and for governing the services and infrastructures that support researchers and enable ORD practices.
