Priorities for sustainable development research

 
 

Good marks for the SCNAT research agenda

Under the leadership of SCNAT, the Sustainability Research Initiative is developing priority topics for sustainable development research in Switzerland. At a review meeting in early July, several well-known experts gave the draft research agenda very good marks. They especially appreciated the systemic approach and encouraged the authors to place even more focus on pathways towards transformation. More

Launch of priorities for sustainability research

 
 

Since spring and in close collaboration with expert working groups, we have been drafting short papers to outline six key priorities for sustainability research in Switzerland. These priorities had been identified by the SRI Steering Committee in late 2019. 


We look forward to publicly present the research priorities whitepaper on December 8, 2020 in Bern. 


The event will take place in the early evening, 5-7 pm. 

Please save the date.
