The Swiss engineering master's degree

One of the biggest challenges encountered in management is recognizing opportunities and making use of them while giving consideration to the associated risks. The constantly increasing dynamism and complexity of the environment in which companies and organizations operate is, however, making it difficult to take successful decisions. Multifactorial correlations, non-linearities, feedback effects and time lags make…

Energy availability, consumption, and management are among the most interesting and challenging topics of the future. Even in Switzerland, energy consumption is constantly rising, and politically, it has become an accepted fact that we must find ways to reduce energy consumption on a long-term basis. After the disaster of Fukushima in 2011, the Federal Council

and Parliament decided on Switzerland's progressive…
