<strong>Eawag</strong><br />
<strong>Eawag</strong>’s research activities focus on how to ensure a balance between humanity’s use of water resources<br />
and the preservation of resilient aquatic ecosystems. <strong>Eawag</strong> offers 39 professors and lecturers and over<br />
300 scientists a unique environment for pursuing research to generate new scientific findings and develop<br />
solutions to fundamental societal challenges. Here, an important role is played by an interdisciplinary<br />
approach and knowledge transfer with the authorities and stakeholders from business and society. The 5,700<br />
teaching hours at Swiss higher education institutions and the supervision of over 180 bachelor and master<br />
theses and 149 doctoral theses per year are an important contribution to the education of young professionals<br />
for the Swiss water sector.<br />
Photo opposite Forum Chriesbach, constructed by <strong>Eawag</strong> in 2006, is a highly energy-efficient building, noted for<br />
its pioneering approach to water management and sustainability. It is set in largely natural surroundings, with the<br />
Chriesbach river forming an integral part of the campus.
