Dal “Trendradar” all’aula scolastica: cosa si aspetta il mondo del lavoro dalla promozione delle discipline STEM

According to MeteoSwiss, the summer of 2026 was the hottest since records began in 1864. At the same time, there had already been very little rainfall during the winter and spring, leading to extreme drought. The stable high-pressure weather also brought Switzerland a duration of sunshine well above the long-term average. These extreme weather events have far-reaching implications for society and the environment, and specifically for the energy supply. Christian Schaffner, Managing Director of the Energy Science Centre at ETH Zurich, provides an analysis for the SATW.

The Swiss Young Academy (SYA) gives early-career researchers a voice and provides a platform for inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration. Its recently published report, «Compassionate Science», explores how empathy and compassion shape research practice across different disciplines. The report also offers valuable insights from a healthcare perspective.

Legislation sets out the requirements that AI systems must meet. Technical standards specify how this is to be achieved. These standards are developed through a coordinated system involving national, regional and international bodies — and play a key role in determining who gains access to the European market.
