Insights into the world of research

Founded in 1880 as an institute for testing construction materials, Empa is now – 125 years on – a highly regarded research centre at the heart of the Swiss ETH domain. Its investigations and developments attract widespread attention and respect in the scientific and technological community. In celebration of its 125th birthday, the institute will throw open its doors in June to give the general public a behind-the-scenes look at its research activities.
