Visa requirement for two visits to Europe (Switzerland and Germany) 80 days apart
I'm planning to travel to Switzerland from 20th to 25th October 2019, and then again to Bonn in the time period of 13th to 17th January 2020, both times to attend academic conferences/schools.
I would be applying for the visa in early October 2019 at the Swiss consulate in New York city. I'm an Indian citizen residing in the United States on an F1 student visa.
When applying for the visa at the Swiss consulate, would it be pertinent to let them know of my intent to travel to Germany later, and request them to ensure that the visa which is usually valid for 90 days remains valid till at least 18th January 2020?
Thanks a lot!

The readiness to give you a multiple-entry, long-validity visa depends in part on your travel history to the Schengen area. So if this is your first application, apply separately for the two visa. If you have a long and incident-free history, ask for a multiple-entry visa.

Can I have 2 Schengen visas at the same time?
In theory, it is not possible for a person to hold two valid short stay visas covering the same period. I have a valid Schengen visa but it does not cover my next intended stay, what can I do? In this case, it is possible to file a visa application for another Schengen visa to cover the next intended stay entirely.Can I get a visa to stay in the EU for more than 90 days?

Yes you can. No 2 countries share data with each other. Neither are they bothered about you applying visa at the same time. You can apply visa to N number of countries at the same time.What is the 90 day rule for visiting Europe?
What is the Schengen 90/180 rule? Under the terms of Schengen, non-EEA nationals cannot spend more than a total of 90 days within a total period of 180 days without a visa. Furthermore, once you've used up your quota of 90 days, you cannot return to Schengen until 90 more days have passed.How to write a SCHENGEN VISA Travel Itinerary for Germany, Switzerland, and France | Requirements
