CELEBRATION | Cheers to 10 years! October marked 10 years since Prof. Rudolf Müller stepped in as the first Scientific Director of BISS – back then known as Institute for Business Intelligence and Smart Services. A decade later, after many transformations, new projects, changes in the team, and evolving visions… Rudolf is still here - and still one of our strongest anchors. Rudolf, thank you for 10 years of dedication, curiosity, and community. We’re happy (and lucky!) to have you in our team. Here’s to many more years of impact!

Working together on accessibility
Collaboration with BISS helped us take a fresh look at a complex process like the social assistance application. By bringing together behavioral scientists, data scientists, and policymakers under the guidance of a design thinking facilitator, we developed an approach that is both human-centered and data-driven. Thanks to this interdisciplinary collaboration, we were able to truly take steps toward a simpler, clearer, and more accessible application process for our residents.
