Our values

Our leadership culture, equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion are core values at Eawag. Our management style is target-driven and based on dialogue, giving all employees the opportunity to develop both professionally and personally. We also train many apprentices every year.

Respectful conduct

Eawag provides its employees with a respectful, professional and motivating environment. Employees at every level and in every department cultivate appreciative and supportive relationships with one another. At Eawag, discrimination, sexual harassment, bullying, threatening behaviour and violence are not acceptable.

Integrity in research

Truthfulness, openness, integrity and fairness are fundamental to credibility and acceptance in academia. Researchers at Eawag are committed to these values and adhere to the guidelines that are derived from them.

Work-life balance

The work-life balance of our employees is important to us. We therefore offer our employees flexible working hours and the option of working from home.

Occupational safety and health

Occupational safety is our top priority. We offer specific prevention programmes on occupational safety and health for all employees. We also take health factors into account and continuously optimise our work processes.
