The Swiss Novaquatis project, focussing on research and development on the concept of NoMix toilets (urine separating toilets) won the award “td-net for transdisciplinary research” 2008 from the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences – carrying a prize of CHF 75,000.
EAWAG writes: “The award is made (…) in recognition of the project managers’ commitment to transdisciplinarity: as well as integrating environmental, engineering and social scientific research, they sought the cooperation of non-academic partners at an early stage.”
