Research

The work of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (D-BAUG) centres on issues that are at the heart of the national and global challenges of the 21st century.

Our teaching and research focus on opportunities and potential for the sustainable design of living spaces. With our innovative methodical approaches achieving results that have been widely acclaimed, we are among the world’s leading teaching and research institutions in the field of structural systems and natural resources.

For optimal connectivity and impact, D-BAUG focuses the research activities of its Institutes on three major challenges.

For the strategy period from 2021 to 2024, these are:

Increasing Urbanisation
Future-oriented Infrastructure
Changing Environment

In each of these issues, a careful balance will be struck between basic and applied research.
