Beginning in April 2013, Ursula Renold headed the “education systems” field of research in the KOF Swiss Economic Institute at the ETH Zurich. The aim of the new field is to compile comparative country studies on selected areas of the education systems as well as recommendations on potential areas of cooperation to improve the positioning of the Swiss education, employment and in particular, the vocational training system.
Ursula Renold and her team works closely with international institutions as well as with Swiss trade and industry, and will assist the latter with the export of education through feasibility studies and with the international marketing of the Swiss education system.
