Mission and strategy

Eawag is an internationally leading research institute focused on pioneering strategies to preserve and provide water for both people and the environment. As water resources face increasing strain from a growing human population and global change, Eawag is driving progress to alleviate these pressures and balance ecological, economic, and social needs for water. We create impactful solutions for Switzerland and beyond with disciplinary, inter-, and transdisciplinary methods. Collaborating within the ETH Domain and with partners worldwide, we develop cutting-edge approaches that set new standards in water research and innovation.

The research departments of Eawag are dedicated to four key areas of research:

• Health
• Biodiversity
• Climate
• Cycles.
