Welcome
to the Swiss Conservation-Restoration Campus
(Swiss CRC)

The four partner institutions of the Swiss CRC are the only institutions in Switzerland offering an education in conservation and in conservation-restoration at university-level:

• Abegg-Stiftung, Berner Fachhochschule (BFH), Riggisberg
• Haute Ecole Arc Conservation-restauration (HE-Arc CR), Haute école spécialisée de Suisse occidentale (HES-SO), Neuchâtel
• Hochschule der Künste Bern (HKB), Berner Fachhochschule (BFH), Bern
• Scuola universitaria professionale della Svizzera italiana (SUPSI), Dipartimento ambiente costruzioni e design (DACD), Lugano

They established the Swiss Conservation-Restoration Campus in order to coordinate the different forms of collaboration in teaching and applied research and to build a powerful competences network at Federal level. Each institution is a centre for education and research in different fields of conservation-restoration. Although closely associated under the national framework of the Swiss Conservation-Restoration Campus, each of the four sites profits from their cultural and linguistic location to offer a springboard for their students into a wider European context. In this way, Neuchâtel, Bern, Riggisberg and Lugano have developped fruitful didactic and research collaborations with their respective European neighbours.
