CHgestützte

CHgestützte is a German-language term used to indicate that something is supported by Swiss entities. The “CH” is the international code for Switzerland (from Confoederatio Helvetica), and “gestützte” is the past participle of “stützen,” meaning supported or backed. As such, CHgestützte functions as an adjective in texts to signal Swiss backing, funding, or cooperation, but it does not refer to a formal legal status in itself.

The term is used across diverse domains. In academia and research, CHgestützte Forschungsprojekte may denote projects that receive Swiss funding or institutional backing. In industry and startups, CHgestützte Partnerschaften or CHgestützte Förderprogramme describe collaborations or funding programs backed by Swiss authorities, research bodies, or cantonal programs. In policy communication, it may indicate that an initiative has Swiss governmental support.

Because CHgestützte is not a standardized designation, its precise meaning depends on the source. Readers should seek explicit references to the backing bodies or funding sources—such as the Swiss National Science Foundation, universities, or cantonal agencies—to understand the scope and nature of the support.
