Publications

The Institute, as a competence centre, brings together the international work of staff and students working across BFH-HAFL Divisions with numerous external partners from the private sector, public institutions and NGO’s.

Over the years, our researchers and students have produced a wealth of scientific publications, book and conference contributions, project reports, policy briefs and more. As a university of applied sciences, BFH-HAFL not only contributes to peer-reviewed journals, but also provides core project documents and sources of knowledge for our clients and partners.
