Association for Independent Research

The Association for Independent Research (AIR) is an initiative founded in Switzerland in 2023 as a hub for researchers with or without an institutional affiliation. While currently at an early stage, we hope to soon welcome more members and offer additional benefits. Our aims are to provide the following services:
- Networking, bridging, and support for scholars with or without an academic affiliation.
- Promotion of high-quality research that benefits from alternative organizational models which may lie beyond institutional conventions.
- Formalization of relevant knowledge that may be excluded from traditional settings.
- Research and education services for individuals and organizations.
We are currently analyzing the responses we gathered from the public. Please wait to hear about how we will integrate this input.
