Fourth DIZH Project Call: All 16 projects with UZH participation
In the 4th project call, the DIZH is funding 16 projects that are characterised by their innovative strength, social relevance and strong practical relevance. Members of the University of Zurich (UZH) are involved in all funded projects.
The projects are realised by interdisciplinary teams that combine research and practice. Various technologies and methodological approaches such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR) and citizen science are utilised. This creates new approaches to medical care, personalised rehabilitation and participatory research.
One striking example of cross-university collaboration is the «ChirpScan» project: the four universities are jointly developing a mobile app that identifies grasshoppers based on their songs. The project combines AI with citizen science, enables efficient monitoring of biodiversity and is aimed at experts, citizen scientists and non-experts.
