Geneva is also the home of two national research institutions. They are "borders in the genetic" and "materials with new electronic qualities" (MaNEP). The University of Geneva offers degree studies in different areas in collaboration with other Swiss Universities. At the national level, the University is involved subsequently in two ambitious collaboration projects. Science, Life and Society are an innovation and development program between the University and Institute of technology of Lausanne. The (female and male) scientists who study there work close together with the European laboratory for particle physics (CERN). They also have close ties with European organisations for astronomy (ESO) and the European space organisation (ESA) and the NASA. At the international level, the University does not count less than eighty collaboration arrangements with Universities on all five continents. The costs to live in the city of Geneva are the highest of any Swiss city. However, the fees to study there are very cheap and the lowest at only 500 CHF per semester.
