UZH as a real-world laboratory

UZH makes itself available to its researchers, staff and students as a real-world laboratory to enable the exploration and implementation of innovative measures for sustainable operation. Measures for sustainable operation are developed in interdisciplinary teams. UZH researchers can apply for project funding together with staff responsible for the operations or administration. The consortium must include at least one person from each of the two groups. Students (e.g., in the context of final theses) and external cooperation collaborators can be included.

Applicants are encouraged to look for potential collaboration with our partner institutions in the ZKSD (Zurich Knowledge Center for Sustainable Development) to make use of synergies. The ZKSD can provide administrative support for coordination. https://zksd.ch
