Background
Several PhD research projects on water governance in Switzerland have recently been completed or are in their final stages (e.g., at Eawag - the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, the University of Geneva, the Graduate Institute Kurt Bösch and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne). There is thus a valuable opportunity to showcase and share the research projects’ results with both the academic and practitioner community in Switzerland and beyond. Eawag provides a fitting environment to foster shared learning between researchers and practitioners, as well as coordination between the different research institutes in which the research projects have taken place. Such an interaction can support future collaborations both within academia and between academia and praxis. We therefore propose a seminar at Eawag to present the outcomes of recent PhDs with significant relevance to water governance in Switzerland, from both social and physical science disciplines.
