Digital science for a sustainable future

This year, Empa will once again be taking part in the Swiss Digital Days with various activities - with exciting insights into different research topics. At the opening event on September 5 in Bern, for example, a new type of drone developed by researchers will be on display on the Bundesplatz. The Empa spin-off viboo will be competing with other young companies in the "GreenTech Startup Battle". And in several lifestreams, the public can look over the shoulders of researchers and learn more about, for example, how noise in our environment can be reduced. Digital science plays an important role in the challenge of realizing a sustainable society. It creates new opportunities - including for the intelligent control and secure monitoring of numerous processes. And it opens up new perspectives, for example through digital twins.
