IPZ and sustainability

The Institute's strategy focuses on the medium-term development of the Institute and is adopted by the Institute's Assembly. The strategic goals contained therein set the framework for operational priorities and concrete measures, which are continuously concretised in an action plan by the Institute's Board of Directors.

The Institute's strategy includes objectives in six thematic areas:

  1. Transversal research priorities
  2. Impact on science
  3. Impact on society
  4. Study and teaching
  5. Promotion of young researchers
  6. Diversity and Sustainability

 

IPZ Impact Award: Cooperation with non-university partners

The IPZ places a high value on public relations. We are committed to making scientific findings and the social relevance of our research visible and understandable beyond the academic communities.

In addition to media work, the most important instrument for this is direct cooperation with non-university actors (stakeholders). The IPZ Impact Award focuses explicitly on this form of outreach.

The IPZ Impact Award: Aim, procedure, endowment

The IPZ Impact Award honours cooperation projects with non-university partners. A wide variety of cooperation projects that generate an impact can be proposed, e.g. a classic research cooperation with non-university partners, a special outreach publication, a cooperative conference project, a consultancy or scientific support of a non-university partner, a teaching project, a Capstone, etc. The aim of the IPZ Impact Award is to promote and support the cooperation of non-university partners.

The aim of the IPZ Impact Award is to record and honour all collaborative projects, with an additional award for a particularly promising project. However, all projects are to be recognised at the Institute Conference in November.

A jury consisting of members of the IPZ (staff and students) selects one project each year from the proposals submitted. In addition to a scientific yield, the cooperation project should above all generate a concrete added value of our research for society. The results of the cooperation project should reach their target groups, stimulate innovative types of interactions, processes and discourses or contribute in other ways to solving societal challenges.

The IPZ Impact Award is endowed with CHF 500 and will be awarded at the General Department Assembly in November.
