Several schools are collaborating in each of the four Strategic Initiatives on these topics, with the aim of promoting interdisciplinary collaboration at the FHNW.

They are due for completion at the end of 2017.
Alumni and graduates of the FHNW are organised into independent alumni groups by school. Alumni FHNW is the umbrella for the alumni associations.
