A Closer Look Seed Sustainability is the project platform of ETH Sustainability; it acts as the link between research-related questions from business and society, and the research interests of the university. Seed Sustainability establishes contacts with partners from industry – in business, government, and other institutions – that are interested in putting theory into practice. The Seed Sustainability team looks for qualified students and academic specialists and provides coaching that involves the participation of everyone in the programme. This also encourages student research in sustainability-related topics, promotes successful cooperation between scientific theory and practice, and unites the needs and expectations of research, education, and industry. www.ethz.ch/en/the-eth-zurich/sustainability/education/seed-sustainability.html
