Created in March 1997 in the San Francisco Bay Are, the Swiss-List is an informal
group of young Swiss scientists and businesses professional living in the
US [Swiss not as in "Swiss Citizen" but individuals who have a
close tie to Switzerland, like a higher education degree or a professional
experience in Switzerland]. It now includes over 400 members working in
academic, government and corporate research centers, as well as people
involved in small "start-up" high-technology companies. The
Swiss-List is a non-profit organization with unrestricted
membership.
The goals of the Swiss-List are to:
Encourage networking among Swiss scientists working in
the US.
An electronic mailing lists
keeps members informed of new developments and hosts informal discussions as
well as exchange of ideas, contacts, etc.
A web site provides information about the members and
also acts as reference for previously discussed topics in the electronic
mailing list.
Social events are regularly organized to establish and
maintain personal contacts between the community members.
Foster contacts between our community and the community
involved in science and technology in Switzerland and to provide an easy
access to the vast resources of the US and Switzerland.
Through our web site, interested Swiss corporations or
universities can identify Swiss-List members active in strategic fields
and establish informal contacts with them. Their unique experience and
insight knowledge is an excellent source of information about local companies,
latest technologies, new ideas and the identification of potential partners.
We also facilitate access for Swiss scientists in the
San Francisco Bay Area to opportunities in Switzerland. By providing the
possibility of informal exchange with corporations or universities in Switzerland,
the Swiss-List helps Swiss nationals return to their home country.
Promote the interests of our community to the Swiss public
administrations.
Close contacts are maintained with the Swiss Embassy
and its Consulates in the US.
We help identify and alleviate the administrative difficulties
linked to returning to Switzerland.
We encourage agreements between the Swiss and American
administrations for the benefit of Swiss scientists training in the US.
Facilitate the integration of Swiss scientists freshly
arrived in the US.
The Swiss-List web site provides access to resources,
list of pointers.
An extensive list of recommendations and everyday life
"how-to" is available on the web site.
Specific questions or request for help can be sent to
the mailing list.

A brief history
A few of us met at a dinner for Swiss scientists organized in 95 by
the Swiss consulate. Having common interests, we kept in touch by emailing
and sometime by getting together to have a barbecue or a dinner. Since
we were meeting more young Swiss scientists, the number of addresses in
the email we were exchanging was growing ever longer. Finally in February
97, Laurent Miéville created a mailing list (thank you Laurent)
to help Swiss people in the San Francisco bay area (with a bias toward
Swiss post-docs) keep in touch one with the other. In March 97, I (Laurent
Vuilleumier) decided to complement the mailing list with a web site. During
97, both the mailing list and the web site grew steadily to become quite
representative of the activity of Swiss people in the scientific and technologic
field around San Francisco. We are now developing our ties with Swiss
scientific and technologic bodies, and hope to be able in 98 to increase
our exchanges with Switzerland. The Swiss-List
started as, and is still, a private informal initiative by Laurent Miéville
and me (Laurent Vuilleumier). We were delighted to be joined and helped
by other young Swiss in the Bay area. Our group
is as flexible as possible and we try to keep it free from administrative
structure.
By now, we grew the site to three regional lists (Eastcoast, San Francisco Bay
and San Diego), a list about startups, and, of course, the original
swiss-list. The web site has grown considerably and allows now all
members and non members to add and edit specific parts of the site.
