Janet Hering

Director of Eawag and professor at ETHZ and EPFL · ETH Zürich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne · company speakers →

Acknowledging the increased focus on 'mission-oriented' research being promoted by funding agencies all over Europe, and why it often fails in addressing complex problems, Janet Hering will introduce us to the concept of 'actionable research.' Actionable research is intended to be useful in informing environmental policy and practice. As this is the goal of a lot of the science performed and used by SETAC members, we very much look forward to hearing about this topic. Hering navigates through an environment of science, policy needs, and an ever-changing funding landscape daily as a director of Eawag and professor at ETHZ and EPFL.
