Enquiries from private individuals

Members of the public who have concerns about NIR and who seek information as to the state of knowledge can approach us. In so far as we can, we will endeavour to answer your questions.

Please email your enquiry to or telephone us on +41 44 632 28 15.

Participation in events

Communities frequently ask us to participate in events, such as informative functions about planned infrastructure projects or as part of the internal training about NIR for their administrators, in order to learn the current state of knowledge.

We can also look back on many years involvement in schools. This commitment is primarily connected to the TecDays of the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences, an educational campaign in grammar schools aimed at inspiring youngsters for technical training and professions.
