Welcome

The overall strategic goals of the Competence Center Environment and Sustainability of the ETH Domain (CCES) are to foster major advancements in research; to establish the CCES partners as international and national focal points for environment and sustainability; to achieve a long-term structuring effect lasting beyond the completion of CCES; to establish a strong wide-ranging education and outreach program; to achieve a visible societal impact with a focus on socio-economic implementation. The CCES implementation is based on A. Education and Research Units CLENCH - Climate & Environmental Change FEH - Food, Environment & Health HazRi - Natural Hazards & Risks NatuRe - NaturalResources SuLu - Sustainable Land Use

B. Integrative Elements

Res - Research Platforms

Sci - Scientific Services

Edu - Education & Outreach

VSP - Visiting Scholars Program

CCES is largely based on the long-range re-orientation and focusing of the critical mass and excellence in science and engineering already existing at the partner institutions. Activities follow a three-part scheme, with contributions from the ETH Board, dedicated resources by participating institutions, and third-party funding.
