Nachtisch – Nachhaltigkeit im Gespräch: der neue Podcast der SCNAT
Nachhaltigkeit entsteht zusammen: Am Nachtisch stellen sich Forscherin und Praktiker kniffligen Fragen und suchen Wege in eine hoffnungsvolle Zukunft. In der ersten Folge diskutieren wir mit der Landschaftsökologin Janine Bolliger und dem Lichtplaner Jörg Haller, wie sich künstliches Licht auf Natur und Menschen auswirkt und wie eine gute Lichtplanung Biodiversität schützt, Energie spart und Sicherheit schafft.
Current Challenges in Plant Breeding 2026
This seminar is also part of the ETH lecture “Current Challenges in Plant Breeding”, where we aim to bring together Master and PhD students with national and international experts in plant breeding to discuss current activities, latest achievements and future perspectives of selected topics.

33. annual meeting of the Swiss Society of Agronomy SGPW-SSA
Grassland and forage production are central components of sustainable agriculture – especially in Switzerland, where they form the basis of animal production and provide a wide range of ecological services. The conference will focus on current scientific findings, challenges and solutions relating to the use, conservation and further development of grassland systems. The focus is on issues of productivity, biodiversity, animal health, landscape planning and food security in the context of climate change and economic constraints.

Das Arten-ABC: ein Pilot-Projekt in Entwicklung
Die biologische Vielfalt ist unsere Lebensgrundlage. Arten zu kennen und zu benennen ist die Grundlage für das Wahrnehmen und Dokumentieren unserer lebenden Umwelt. Artenkenntnisse sind daher ein wichtiger Baustein in der Grundbildung. Ein neues Bildungsangebot für Schulen im Raum Bern soll Kindern den Zugang zu Artenkenntnissen ermöglichen und Lehrpersonen in ihrem Unterricht unterstützen.
