future<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract<\/h3>\n<p>We are confronted with enormous global challenges such as climate change where progress towards solutions is slow. This raises the question whether research institutions could do better in supporting society on their path towards a sustainable future. Scientific evidence though, is often highly appreciated by stakeholders \u2013 if the evidence supports their political opinions. This presentation explores from an institutional perspective how we may move beyond the current status quo through capacity building, developing new institutional arrangements with stakeholders or broadening staff portfolios to allow for more inclusive engagement with society that addresses simultaneously economic, political and societal needs in multi-actor contexts.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Dr Christian Stamm is Deputy Director of Eawag. He has a background in biology, soil physics and hydrology. For more than 30 years he has been working on topics related to agriculture and water quality. This field is politically often contested and therefore Christian has a broad experience at the science-policy\/practice interface. He leads the Joint Initiative Engage - Evidence-based dialogue on trade-offs in wicked societal problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n                <!-- Social Links -->\n                                    <div class=\"gs-tm-sicons\">\n                        <div class=\"gs-tm-sicons-lable\">Follow Me On<\/div>\n                                                \n    <ul class=\"gs-team-social\">\n\n    \n        <li>\n            <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eawag.ch\/en\/about-us\/portrait\/organisation\/staff\/profile\/christian-stamm\/show\/\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"sameAs\"><i class=\"fas fa-link\"><\/i><\/a>        <\/li>\n\n            \n    <\/ul>\n\n    \n                    <\/div>\n                                \n                <!-- Meta Details -->\n                \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n                \n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div> <!-- End of row -->\n\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<!-- Start single member -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member-div gs-col-lg-4 gs-col-md-4 gs-col-sm-6 gs-col-xs-12 single-member-pop cbp-so-section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Sehema & Single member wrapper -->\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member thumbnail and more -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_55929_16\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--style-one\" href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/ethrat.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Martin_Jaggi_450-300x300.jpg\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Martin Jaggi\" itemprop=\"image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethrat.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Martin_Jaggi_450-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethrat.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Martin_Jaggi_450-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethrat.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Martin_Jaggi_450.jpg 453w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <div class=\"gs_team_image__overlay\"><\/div><\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_member_info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Member Name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a itemprop=\"name\" class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_55929_16\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--style-one\" href=\"#\">Martin Jaggi<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Member Designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobTitle\">EPFL Professor<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">A Moving Target?

Training LLMs in the Context of Swiss and European AI Regulation<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract<\/h3>\n<p>This talk explores how shifting regulatory frameworks in Switzerland and the EU are influencing the development of large language models (LLMs). Based on concrete projects such as Apertus, as well as engagement with Swiss parliamentary debates on AI policy, we discuss data governance, transparency, and author rights. We also reflect on how regulatory questions interface with responsible, competitive LLM research in Switzerland.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Martin Jaggi is an Associate Professor at EPFL, heading the Machine Learning and Optimization Laboratory. Before that, he was a post-doctoral researcher at ETH Zurich, at the Simons Institute in Berkeley, and at \u00c9cole Polytechnique in Paris. He has earned his PhD in Machine Learning and Optimization from ETH Zurich in 2011, and a MSc in Mathematics also from ETH Zurich.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n                <!-- Social

processes, incorporating specialist knowledge into laws and regulations. Accordingly, cooperation with authorities is important for evidence-based policy-making. The Forest Report is a decadal, co-authored publication by the WSL and the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN). It synthesizes long-term empirical data to assess the condition and changes of Swiss forests over the past decade. About 90 experts from science and administration contributed jointly to this edition, ensuring a broad knowledge base. The report facilitates international comparability and serves as a reference for informed decision-making, included policy-making. In this context, we examine the challenges and opportunities in producing such a collaborative product.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Christoph Fischer received his Ph.D. in Forestry from Georg-August-Universit\u00e4t G\u00f6ttingen in 2011.

To this end, we develop and apply quantitative and qualitative methods and models to reflect partly conflicting technical, environmental, economic, social and political technology characteristics and operational objectives. This requires strong engagement with key policy, industrial and societal stakeholders, and a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. In this presentation, we will explore some examples of this stakeholder engagement and the ways in which it informs policy-oriented research, deriving some key insights and recommendations in the Swiss energy domain.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Prof. Russell McKenna is Full Professor of Energy Systems Analysis at ETH Zurich and Head of the Laboratory for Energy Systems Analysis at the Paul Scherrer Institute.

Zurich<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract<\/h3>\n<p>Engaging with policymakers is a strategic focus of the ETH Domain. Yet, current structures pose several obstacles for meaningful and effective exchanges between science and policy. Researchers often lack incentives and capacity to engage with policy makers. At the same time, policymakers are typically interested in policy-focused evidence, often requiring inter- and trans-disciplinary scientific collaborations. To overcome these challenges, ETH Zurich has created a School of Public Policy in the fall of 2025. In my talk, I will outline how this new center works and how it contributes to strengthening science-policy engagement.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Prof. Tobias Schmidt is the founding director of the ETH School of Public Policy and heads ETH Zurich's Energy and Technology Policy group. In his research, he analyzes the interaction of energy policy and its underlying politics with technological change in the energy sector. In his teaching, for which he received ETH Zurich's students' prize Golden Owl, he covers conceptual and methodological courses (such as Policy Analysis) as well as courses related to the governance of the energy transition. Tobias holds a Bachelor of Science and Dipl. Ing. (MSc equivalent) in electrical engineering (energy focus) from the Technical University Munich and a PhD from ETH Zurich in management, technology, and economics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

possibilities within planetary boundaries<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract<\/h3>\n<p>Science for sustainability can outline an option space for the future of humanity. Yet there are countless of options on how to fill this space with life, which comes down to the question on how do we want to live in the future? This talk will provide insights into two of the strategies we are taking at the Technology and Society Lab to tackle this question in a dialogue with future decision makers: co-creation processes with school children in collaboration with PHSG, which lead to the children\u2019s book Zukunfts(K)reise; as well as interdisciplinary lectures at University of St.Gallen to co-construct business opportunities and regulatory possibilities for a future carbon-binding and circular society.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Dr Harald Desing is researching at Empa on how to design material cycles within planetary boundaries. He develops methods for considering planetary boundaries and circularity in product design, modelling the biophysical possibilities for accelerating the energy transition, as well as finding ways of returning to the safe limit for atmospheric CO<sub>2<\/sub> concentration of 350ppm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n                <!-- Social Links -->\n

sector<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract<\/h3>\n<p>Research organizations struggle to bridge knowledge gaps between researchers and practitioners due to misaligned goals, siloed specializations, and under-resourcing. Individual efforts exist but often lack organizational support. Since mid-2023, Eawag\u2019s Sandec department has piloted a \"knowledge broker\" role to bridge this gap. Using the dynamic capability framework (sensing\/seizing\/transforming), I will present how this role is impacting the department. Key activities include co-creating and disseminating diverse knowledge products (briefs, blogs, social media) for WASH practitioners. Results for Mar 2024-25 show that developed content received 1) over 1.3 million views, from professionals working in NGOs, governments, and research industries, 2) over 20,000 engagements and feedback, and 3) significant leads. The broker established new sensing (audience\/channels), seizing (co-creation processes), and transforming (embedding in workflows) mechanisms in the department. Challenges remain in improving collaboration, scaling the role organization-wide, and sustaining the impact of dissemination.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Dr George Wainaina is a research group leader at Eawag, leading research on climate adaptation for water organizations. He has a PhD (Utrecht) in urban sustainability transitions and innovations management and is an expert in translating WASH science to practice. He has previously managed multiple development projects and published on basic service provision, institutional change &amp; water security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n

Science<em>\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cCook the Science\u201d<\/em> is a public outreach project at ETH Zurich which aims to communicate science to the public in a fresh, engaging, and relatable way. By using cooking as a universal language, the project transforms complex concepts into tangible aspects of everyday life that spark curiosity and dialogue. This approach not only demystifies science, but it also builds trust, enables exchange with diverse audiences, and strengthens the connection between academia and society. In this presentation, I will share why <em>\u201cCook the Science\u201d<\/em> has resonated so strongly with the public. I will preset some reflections on engaging effectively with society through scientific concepts as experienced through <em>\u201cCook the Science\u201d<\/em> and highlight strategies for how we could make science more accessible to the public moving forward.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Originally from Lugano, Thomas studied physics and mathematics at ETH Zurich and earned a PhD in Biophysical Chemistry at Cambridge.

This distinguishes between whether people are interested in science or not and whether they have a positive or negative attitude towards it. This segmentation results in very different needs, which means that a wide range of communication tools and measures are necessary to reach, if not the entire population, then at least large sections of it. In the presentation, I will introduce the model and its practical implications.<\/p>\n<p>*<a href=\"https:\/\/wissenschaftsbarometer.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/wissenschaftsbarometer.ch<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>About<\/h4>\n<p>Birgit studied environmental sciences at ETH Zurich, where she discovered her passion for research \u2013 and communication.

with Society as a Strategic Task at PSI<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract<\/h3>\n<p>Engaging in dialogue with society is a core element of the Paul Scherrer Institute\u2019s mission within the ETH Domain. As Switzerland\u2019s largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences, PSI not only advances cutting-edge research in energy, matter, and health, but also ensures its work is accessible and relevant to the public. This talk outlines PSI\u2019s activities to foster exchange with diverse audiences\u2014from schools and the interested public to policymakers and industry. By sharing examples of outreach, co-creation, and participatory dialogue, it highlights opportunities and challenges in building trust, addressing concerns, and strengthening the role of science in democratic decision-making.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Martina Gr\u00f6schl holds a degree in Mathematics and in Science Communication.
