Organizational Structure
WFSC Structure and Governance
The core of the WFSC is formed by the member group, which in April 2024 comprised of 45 professors representing seven departments at ETH Zurich, four groups of Eawag, and one group of Empa.
The Steering Committee, formed by a group of up to ten elected members and led by a Chair, oversees the strategy and operational functions carried out by the Executive Office.
Partnership Model
We strive to work with others in strategic partnerships to achieve together what no partner could achieve on their own. This core value forms the basis for how the Center develops and implements all projects, programs and activities. The food system is complex and includes a wide variety of stakeholders and interests.
To facilitate greater exchange within academia and between academia and external partners and stakeholders, the WFSC:
- engages with multiple stakeholders and disciplinary perspectives to frame challenges, produce new knowledge, and evaluate and implement solutions;
- promotes education that targets key stakeholders and is developed based on real-world challenges and contexts; and
- supports and participates in networks that foster communication and outreach.
We also work with a variety of Collaborative Partners.
