Rudolf Wolf (1816-1893): Astronomer;, Research Organizer, Historian of Sciences Rudolf Wolf is remembered by the scientific comm unity above all as a pion eer of sun spots research. On the centennial anniversary of his death it is appropriate to review his other achievements, which have been wrongly neglected. Wolf organized various astronomical, geodetic and meteorological projects. For example, it ivas on his initiative that the Federal Observatory in Zurich, designed by the famous architect Gottfried Semper, was built. He taught at academic institutions m Berne and Zurich and developed the library of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, from its beginnings. His contributions to the history of science are still of interest today: Biographien zur Kulturgeschichte der Schweiz (4 vol., 1858-1862) ; Geschichte der Astronomie (Munich 1877, reprint 1965) ; Geschichte der Vermessungen in der Schweiz (1879) ; Handbuch der Astronomie, ihrer Geschichte und Literatur (2 vol., 1890—1893; reprints 1973).

Receiving the Nobel Prize in 1971 for the invention and development of the holographic method, Dennis Gabor mentioned Mieczysław Wolfke as the person who proposed this method as early as 1920 (which he did not know, independently making the same discovery). This article describes the history of Wolfke's pioneering work and tries to recreate the thought process that led to it - starting with the task of supplementing and verifying the diffraction grating theory proposed by Ernst Abbe, which he carried out as part of his doctorate at the University of Wrocław and habilitation at the University of Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich..

The article reveals important historical aspects of the legal regulation of the Swiss innovation park, the creation and operation of science and technology parks. The article reveals the issue of adoption and amendment of certain legislative acts regulating the activities of the elements of the innovation structure of Switzerland.Federal laws governing the elements of the innovation structure of Switzerland, their legal status. The adoption of modern federal laws was preceded by a history of development and changes in the legal regulation of the innovation park in Switzerland.The author analyzes the development of scientific research on state and legal regulation of elements of the innovation structure of the state, problems in the legal regulation of activities and trends in the further development of the innovation park in Switzerland.The author identifies the research bodies in accordance with Swiss law.The article states that the State Secretariat for Vocational Education and Technology, which is part of the Federal Department (Ministry) of Economics, deals with innovation policy in Switzerland. The Secretariat may delegate its powers to other government agencies and universities The party interested in the development of the project submits project documentation to the State Secretariat for Vocational Education and Technology. Depending on the type of application, in the case of a decision to support the project, a decision may be made to delegate theproject to a university or other research institution.The author notes that in Switzerland special attention is paid to nanotechnology, engineering, chip development, agriculture and biochemistry. The author emphasizes that one of the largest science parks is represented by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and characterizes the activities of this institute.The article reveals the activities of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology for 2019, identifies the creation of branches of the institute and new companies.

The application of functionally graded materials (FGM) principles is widespread in Europe, despite the lack of national or European programs coordinating the efforts of the individual institutions and researchers. In the following article, the status of research in Europe will be outlined by examples of research projects from various application fields. More detailed information on European FGM research is available from the proceedings of the FGM '94 symposium held in October 1994 in Lausanne, Switzerland. The symposium was organized by B. Ilschner through the Materials Department of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne.
