Research

But not extinct: Thanks to a targeted search, several specimens of the deep-water char (Salvelinus profundus), which is only native to Lake Constance, have been rediscovered.

Wind energy: Previous models are often not sufficiently accurate.

Living things constantly release their DNA into their environment. This makes it easier for researchers to determine the biological diversity of an ecosystem.

In animal experiments, mainly mice and rats are used in Switzerland.

Wood as a resource: The renewable raw material could replace petroleum in the production of chemicals in the future.

Thanks to the gapmaps.org Internet platform, pollutant risks can be easily assessed and visualized worldwide.
