Knowledge & Technology Transfer

Eawag strongly supports knowledge and technology transfer from research to practice. Transfers may involve scientific cooperation or take the form of a service contract.

Do not hesitate to consult us if you require a collaboration.

Principles of cooperation

• The task is defined and the work carried out through a collaborative partnership.
• The task requires the particular competencies of Eawag and cannot equally be performed by private-sector service providers.
• The task involves implementation-oriented research aspects and makes it possible to gain new insights of general relevance for water and environmental protection.

Services and consulting

Services are provided mainly in the training and consulting areas. Fees are generally charged so as to cover costs. However, Eawag only provides services in a scientific context. Requests for routine analysis of drinking water etc. are forwarded to private laboratories.
