The SSC Information Service for Science Policy locates, analyses and handles information relating to education, research and innovation ERI in Switzerland and abroad. It plays an active role in SSC projects and studies by providing information needed by the Council and the scientific advisors of the Secretariat. It also searches for, selects and posts information regarding themes falling under the purview of federal agencies and policymaking bodies responsible for science and innovation.

The SSC's collection of documents dating prior to 2010 can be found at the Library am Guisanplatz.
