Award ceremony - Prix Optimus

The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) is awarding the Optimus Agora prize to the “Keep It CO2OL” project by Timothy Eglinton and Sonia Seneviratne of ETH Zurich. In close collaboration with Ulrike Kastrup and Kerstin Bircher from focusTerra, the Earth & Science Discovery Center of ETH Zurich, they will set up the exhibition “Keep It CO2OL” from winter 2024/2025. This awareness-raising project aims to bring CO₂ closer to a broad public and raise awareness of the challenges of climate change. A diverse programme around the topic of CO₂ with presentations, interactive installations, guided tours, lectures, workshops and meetings with researchers will make the exhibition a place of encounter between the population and experts from science, industry and politics.
