| | | Mandatory reading for research funders: Interview with Gabriela Wülser | |
| | In order to advance the societal transformation towards a sustainable future, research programmes are needed that develop options for action and address questions around societal values. In the SCNAT Annual Report, Gabriela Wülser, Head of Sustainability Research, explains the idea of the report "Lighthouse programmes for sustainability research and innovation" that outlines design options for such programmes.

| | «Es reicht nicht, wenn man den Hochschulen sagt: ‹Passt eure Strukturen an, verfolgt kollaborative Ansätze und macht andere Forschung.› Ein entscheidender Hebel ist die Finanzierung. Unser Bericht zeigt auf, warum es dringend nötig ist, Programme für wirkungsorientierte Nachhaltigkeitsforschung gezielt zu finanzieren und welches die besonderen Anforderungen dabei sind.»
«Il ne suffit pas de dire aux hautes écoles : « Adaptez vos structures, adoptez des approches collaboratives et faites de la recherche autrement. » Un levier décisif est le financement. Notre rapport montre pourquoi il est urgent de financer de manière ciblée des programmes de recherche sur le développement durable axés sur les résultats et quelles sont les exigences particulières à cet égard.»
