Topics and Objectives:
The problem of stream revitalization is multidisciplinary. Its approach requires bringing together scientific and technical knowledge from several areas of expertise, with spatial planning, hydrology, hydrodynamics, and aquatic biology at the core. The fundamental goal of the proposed degree program is to provide opportunities for specialists in one field to learn and advance in related areas.
Target Audience:
Topics and Objectives:
The objective is to promote specific competencies in analyses and interventions in the field of contaminated sites.
Target groups:
Professionals from geology, consulting and engineering offices, environmental managers from authorities and industry.
The CAS SIPOL diploma is awarded jointly by the University of Neuchâtel and the University of Bern. The Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) is also involved in the organization of this training.
Topics and Objectives:
The courses convey current knowledge from research and promote exchange among participants and between science and practice.
Target groups:
This CAS is designed to train scientists and engineers in various fields of applied geothermal energy. They will be able to plan, set up and manage exploration and/or development projects for deep geothermal resources (deep aquifers and enhanced geothermal systems).
Further information
Topics and Objectives:
The courses provide participants with the key principles for planning, designing, and implementing interventions to improve sustainable and equitable access to domestic water and sanitation services and to improve hygiene behaviors.
Target Audiences:
The course is designed to provide practitioners with an understanding of the fundamentals of the WASH sector, in both humanitarian and development contexts.
This study program is jointly organized by SUPSI, Eawag and the University of Neuchâtel.
Further information
Topics and Objectives:
The main objective of this course is to train qualified and motivated engineers and scientists who work (or want to work) in the water sector in humanitarian contexts. At the end of the course, participants should be able to plan, implement and monitor water and sanitation emergency programs and design emergency response in humanitarian operations, as well as better understand the institutional context of humanitarian situations.
Target Audience:
Qualified and motivated engineers and scientists working (or wishing to work) in the water sector in humanitarian contexts.
Topics and Objectives:
The CAS ETH in Applied Earth Sciences certificate program is designed to help find solutions to current and future challenges in applied earth sciences. Thematically, the continuing education program focuses on the understanding of ground behavior in underground and foundation engineering, the use of energy resources (especially geothermal energy), the protection of groundwater supplies, and the analysis and management of natural geological hazards.
The modules provide participants with up-to-date fundamental knowledge and an overview of current research in three topics:
Target Audience:
The courses are aimed at earth scientists, engineers, and other interested persons with equivalent scientific or technically oriented training.
Topics and Objectives:
Courses and continuing education on hydrogeological topics such as:
Target groups:
Professionals in hydrogeology, water resources management, environmental protection and foundation engineering, working for example in engineering offices, authorities for environmental protection, water resources management and geology as well as water supply companies.

ISSKA - SISKA (Swiss Institute for Speleology and Karst Studies) provides different courses such as 3D GeoModelling and Visual KARSYS which are related to karst systems or beyond.
3D GeoModelling: This course is dedicated to the learning of the construction of 3D geological models with the implicit approach. Participants will be briefly introduced in the theoretical aspects of 3D geomodelling and will be guided through the construction of a 3D geological model in a folded / eroded / thrusted environment by using different geological data (maps, cross-sections, drillholes, galleries, faults, etc.). The course is dedicated to geologists / hydrogeologists working in complex areas.
Visual KARSYS: This workshop is dedicated to the learning of the KARSYS approach through an application on a pilot site by using the Visual KARSYS web-tool (www.visualkarsys.com). Participants
