Scientific research can contribute much to solving many urgent global problems. However, research must be conducted in a global context and, in particular, must be extended to the countries of the South. If this is to be done, the research capacities of those countries must be considerably expanded and consolidated. Swiss strategy for promotion of research in the developing world is primarily devoted to this aim. Problems of general concern must be solved by joint efforts, which means in development-oriented, long-term, interdisciplinary research partnerships. In this context the requisite training of everybody involved can be conducted in a continuous way. Partnership is a severely taxing activity. In six points it is shown that today the greater portion of the Swiss research community does not yet meet these requirements. Despite relatively scarce funds, the time has come to review the Swiss university world in this respect also.
科学研究对解决许多紧迫的全球问题能做出很大贡献。然而，研究必须在全球范围内进行，特别是必须扩展到南方国家。若要做到这一点，这些国家的研究能力必须大幅扩展和巩固。瑞士促进发展中世界研究的战略主要致力于这一目标。普遍关注的问题必须通过共同努力来解决，这意味着建立以发展为导向、长期的、跨学科的研究伙伴关系。在这种情况下，相关各方所需的培训可以持续开展。伙伴关系是一项极具挑战性的活动。文章从六个方面表明，如今瑞士科研界的大部分人尚未满足这些要求。尽管资金相对稀缺，但现在也到了从这方面审视瑞士大学界的时候了。
