Are you interested in continuing education? The Department of Environmental Systems Sciences (D-USYS) is involved in two different Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) continuing education programmes.

Extensive networks of drains, pipes and tiles have enabled food production on much of the world’s most productive cropland. To ensure the urgently needed sustainable intensification of agriculture, these drainage systems are due for replacement and even expansion, emphasize researchers from Iowa State University, University of Kentucky and ETH Zurich in a new study recently published in the journal Nature Sustainability.

Two Master's students each of the agricultural sciences and environmental sciences in the Department of Environmental Systems  Sciences Science (D-USYS) have received an Excellence Scholarship & Opportunity Programme (ESOP) scholarship. A total of six students from D-USYS were awarded an ETH-D scholarship.
