SAVE THE DATE – 26th Swiss Global Change Day
The Swiss Global Change Day is the annual event organised by ProClim where well-known experts present challenges and highlights of climate and global change research covering a broad range of topics. It is also an opportunity to present research results through posters and to discuss them with colleagues. The most attractive and comprehensive posters submitted by students and postdocs will be honoured with a travel award of 1000 francs.

Prioritizing technology development pathways for sustainable resource recovery
Societies have prospered under a linear “take-make-use-dispose” paradigm, extracting natural resources to make products, using them, and ultimately discarding them or their residues. This model has driven economic growth but at the cost of resource depletion, pervasive pollution, biodiversity loss, and an escalating climate crisis. In response, industries and governments are seeking technologies that can meet societal needs while advancing broader sustainability goals – resource circularity, carbon neutrality, and equity among them. This pursuit has become a catalyst for research and development to support a transition toward a circular bioeconomy, but a critical challenge has been the vast landscape of possible technology development pathways and the lack of transparent, consistent frameworks to target research and investment.
