Institution<br />

<strong>Eawag</strong> is committed not only to excellence in research, teaching and consulting, but also to creating a<br />

motivating and supportive working environment. Contributing to this attractive environment are the various<br />

support departments, which ensure smooth operations, as well as the outstanding infrastructure available at<br />

the Dübendorf and Kastanienbaum sites. Great importance is attached to work-life balance, equal opportunities<br />

and mutual respect at <strong>Eawag</strong>.<br />

Photo opposite Aquatic physicist Professor Alfred (Johny) Wüest retired in <strong>2021</strong>, having helped to shape<br />

<strong>Eawag</strong>’s development for 38 years, most recently as a member of the Directorate. The verdicts of his<br />

colleagues and decades-long companions are unanimous: Wüest is a thoroughbred researcher, who has always<br />

been driven by his curiosity and passion for science. He never tired of standing up for his ideas, convictions and<br />

values, and was not afraid to pose critical or sometimes uncomfortable questions.
