1st conference for the Swiss ocean community

Medical emergencies require swift action. At the same time the patient’s wishes must be taken into account, for example the wish not to be resuscitated or transferred to a hospital. To provide clarity in such situations, a national expert group has developed the concept «Advance care planning (ACP) for emergency situations». The concept is under public consultation until the end of February 2026.

Innovative Open Research Data practices impressively demonstrated: The project team “Choice of Law Dataverse” (University of Lucerne) and James Runnalls (Eawag) are this year’s winners of the Swiss National Prize for Open Research Data (ORD Prize). Each prize is endowed with 10,000 Swiss francs.
