Member of SCNAT

The Swiss Physical Society (SPS) is the national professional association of Physicists coming from teaching, research, development and industry. The diversity of modern research in physics is reflected in ten specific sections.

9. Energy, Sustainability and Environment

Section Foundation as "Energy and Sustainability": 2024 1; renamed: 2024 2

Chair: Dr. Stephan Wirths, Dr. Tomoko Muranaka

The section fosters research in physics which contributes to a future with sustainable and environmentally friendly energy production, distribution, transmission, storage, and consumption for all, while concurrently undertaking immediate measures to reduce energy consumption and mitigate environmental impacts within SPS members’ research endeavors. We are dedicated to developing a culture of sustainability awareness, driving consciousness on environmental issues and motivating physicists in R&D to act through their research, especially on the energy sector, with societal and political impact.
