Empa is an interdisciplinary research and services institution
for material sciences and technology development within the ETH Domain.
Empa's research and development activities are oriented to meeting
the requirements of industry and the needs of our society, and link
together applications-oriented research and the practical
implementation of new ideas, science and industry, and science and
society.
Thanks to its years of experience in the field, Empa is able to
offer its industrial partners solutions tailored to meet their
specific needs. This encourages companies to think and act in
innovative ways and at the same time helps to improve the quality
of life for all of us. Safety, reliability and sustainability of
materials and systems - these are the watchwords which form a
common thread running through all Empa activities. In this respect
the institution plays a key role in the Swiss educational, research
and innovation scene.
Empa comes into its own in its efforts to disseminate its hard
won know-how at various levels of teaching and technology transfer
activities. In doing so it makes a significant contribution to the
process of creating marketable products from innovative
developments. The Empa
