SCNAT Annual Report 2025
The SCNAT annual report 2025 provides an overview of the key developments, projects, and initiatives that shaped SCNAT’s work over the past year. A particular focus is placed on energy issues.
The international landscape is characterized by intense, unpredictable, and persistent geopolitical tensions, as well as growing challenges in the areas of security, the economy, and the environment. In this changing world, scientific expertise and dialogue based on reliable findings play a more important role than ever in informing public authorities and society.
SCNAT has published several key analyses and syntheses, including reports on nuclear energy and energy storage, as well as a summary of the work of the SWEET program, a consortium dedicated to the transformation of energy systems. Through these publications and accompanying dialogues, SCNAT contributes to the debate on Switzerland’s energy future.
