Cyclos in Switzerland
Since 2007 the Sunflower Foundation has been a member of the Cyclos network, which has taken over the introduction of the software in German-speaking countries. The foundation organises the Cyclos network meetings, shares the work of translating and further developing the software and supports the introduction of Cyclos for Swiss exchange systems.
To cope with the various requirements of larger and smaller exchange systems the Sunflower Foundation also offers Cyclos trainings and a course in organisational development.
