All actors in one place
We’ve been working across UNIL, IMD and EPFL to create a network of the leading experts and organisations in sustainability. This map is continually evolving and growing and we’re always looking for the latest research and innovation projects. Is there someone missing? Let us know.
Where does the data come from?
From you! We’ve been working with the experts leading sustainability and innovation projects across UNIL, IMD and EPFL, including researchers, professors, and sustainability units and labs. We are also working with our partners across the three campuses to find the projects and people who are taking a lead in protecting our planet and society.
Profiles included in the Portal fit the same definition of sustainability:
To ensure human well-being across generations, as well as the stability of ecosystems. Following the Doughnut Economics Model, this means keeping the impact of all human activity within the ecological limits of the planet, while ensuring equity and basic needs for all.
Organised. Connected. Simple.
We currently have over 350 different people and projects on our database. They are organised across 16 sustainability themes and assigned to specific UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Highlighted Projects
Modeling Biodiversity
UNIL Professor Antoine Guisan and his team are at the forefront of environmental innovation, meticulously mapping the geographical distribution of over 10,000 species. These predictions serve as a powerful instrument in the proactive strategy to safeguard our biodiversity and ecosystems.
Preventing Overwhelm
Workplace stress is increasingly pervasive, and its consequences have detrimental effects for individuals and organizations. IMD Professor Alyson Meister and Researcher Nele Dael explore the experience of overwhelm at work, and surface how it impacts employee well-being, and relationships.
LC3 - Low Carbon Cement
Crafted by EPFL Professor Karen Scrivener, the LC3 technology aims to transform the concrete industry. It offers a more affordable and less capital-intensive approach, cutting carbon dioxide emissions by up to 40%. This technology marks a significant stride towards a greener, more sustainable industry.
