Enriching partnership for research and innovation
Politics
Empa PSI
Energy transition, climate change, biodiversity and resource scarcity – today's challenges are complex, and the clock is ticking. So joining forces and working together ever more closely is the name of the game these days. This is exactly what the four research institutes of the ETH Domain – Empa, Eawag, WSL and PSI (Paul Scherrer Institute) – are doing. With cooperation platforms and joint projects, the four institutes are positioning themselves even more clearly than before as THE bridge between research and innovative solutions for today's challenges.
"Power is not intrinsically good or bad"
Research
ETH Zurich
Work psychologist Petra Schmid studies the effects of social power. She favours an interdisciplinary approach that includes both lab experiments and surveys.
"co-operate": model for climate-friendly construction
TechTransfer
Empa
The future Empa and Eawag campus is set to become an inspiring space for new ideas and innovation, also with a view to environmentally and climate-friendly construction of the future. The buildings and facilities are full of ideas for saving or generating energy and recovering raw materials for later use – from the depths of the subsoil to the rooftops.
A new space for clinical research
Research
ETH Zurich
Kantonsspital Baden (KSB) and ETH Zurich have been working together since 2017, mainly in teaching initially, but increasingly in clinical research. Now three ETH professors are moving into new premises on the hospital’s healthcare campus. Together, they want to make findings from basic research available for the benefit of patients.
Students at the cutting edge of research
Teaching
Eawag
Every year, around 180 bachelor and master students are supervised at Eawag. They often participate directly in research projects. This integration, the flat hierarchies and Eawag’s interdisciplinary culture repeatedly lead to master theses receiving awards.
Art and the power of daylight
Teaching
EPFL
Opening today, the new exhibition of EPFL Pavilions “Lighten Up! On Biology and Time” uses the lens of art to explore the connection of living organisms with the natural cycle of light and dark. Nineteen installations highlight the urgency of reconnecting to the outdoor environment and remind us of the importance of regular light exposure.
