The impact of corporate compliance on business success has been so far unclear. The project will enable companies to implement the most effective and efficient corporate compliance factors, optimise costs and positively influence corporate success.

The project fosters integrity management by applying methods developed for deep learning and natural language processing to the field of integrity research. Data scientists and integrity experts develop new metrics that automatically identify corruption-related issues in organizations’ internal documents and internal digital communication.

The Integrity Risks Monitor (IRM) is designed to help companies proactively establish integrity within their business by applying methods and techniques from the field of automated natural language processing to integrity research.

A paradigm shift from product-centric to data-centric business models is currently taking place. The aim of the project is to develop a set of tools that will enable companies to adapt their trade compliance structures and processes to the new digital value chains.

The MedMon project draws on social media and web sources to harness patient insights for the novel and transformative concept of patient-centred drug development. Advanced information extraction components will help leverage these insights to increase the efficacy and efficiency of R&D.

The aim of this research project is to describe the challenges facing companies in Latin America in the areas of human rights/working conditions, the environment and corruption using selected examples, and to show how companies actually implement responsible management in these three areas.

Natural environments and its possibilities for outdoor recreation is ever more relevant for a healthy living and balances urban lifestyles. The project HEALPS aims to raise the awareness of the unique health-promoting potential of the Alpine region and to develop a common basis for positioning.

Big data is a key technology for many economic sectors. In this project, focus is placed on insurance companies and the ethical discussion with respect to the use of customer data and the legal regulation of data protection.

Sanctions and embargoes are a growing challenge for export-oriented Swiss SMEs. And yet some 62% of SMEs are unaware of whether their activities are subject to an export permit obligation. Guidelines that have been prepared as part of an Innosuisse project of University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons provide clarity here.

The project develops methods for the automatic acquisition, extraction and integration of decision-relevant information from heterogeneous online sources. The system uses background knowledge from domain ontologies, databases and an information value model to optimise knowledge acquisition processes.

Job-Cockpit combines web analytics with privacy-aware knowledge extraction and data enrichment methods to develop innovative semantic search and predictive analytics capabilities for the recruitment industry.

Switzerland is in favour of the free movement of goods. Nevertheless, the export of certain goods is subject to a permit. As part of this project, the 'Export control in a nutshell' guidelines for SMEs were developed with the objective of reducing export risks and meeting compliance criteria.

Die SDGs in die Lehre an Hochschulen implementieren, ist eine anspruchsvolle Aufgabe. Es gilt, betroffene Stakeholder zu beteiligen. Dieser Prozess kann mit einem Kick-off-Workshop angestossen werden. Zum Konzept eines solchen Workshops und zu ersten Erfahrungen informiert der Train-the-Trainer-Bericht.

The IMAGINE project develops advanced information extraction methods which exploit the convergence between textual image descriptions and image content as well as linked open data to automatically obtain relevant metadata such as keywords, named entities and topics.

International cases of whistleblowing have received a great deal of media attention. The project investigated the questions: What conclusions can be drawn from this with regard to the relationship between whistleblowers and the media? And what is the practice of whistleblowing in Switzerland?

Market data with clear economic value is spread across multiple sources such as print media, web documents, blogs and social media. In the COMET project we develop key technologies for combining and analysing these heterogeneous and multimodal data.

The study shows that the ethical implications of big data go beyond the invasion of privacy. Big data is not inherently unethical in itself – applications must be individually assessed for their impact.

In recent years, the demands and requirements of anti-corruption-compliance have increased for multinational corporations. The question now arises how these corporations react to the expectations.
