Research Master Plan Environment

The new « Research Master Plan Environment 2025-2028 » (available in German and French) explicitly describes the scientific expertise necessary to fullfill the tasks of the FOEN, and the implementation of environmental policies in 18 research areas under the FOEN’s authority, in the near- and future-term.

Furthermore, a specific chapter is dedicated to a series of multidisciplinary themes that aim to strengthen research at the interfaces between the environment and other overarching topics, and to trigger collaboration between research stakeholders in various sectors. The document also presents the existing connections between environmental research and the other institutions and federal agencies it supports in their mission.
