The ITI Switch, Interdisciplinary Thematic Institute | Sustainability of Hydrosystems and Urban Socio-Ecosystems, integrates research and education activities addressing the socio-ecological transformations of hydric and urban systems in response to climatic and anthropogenic challenges.

Led by the University of Strasbourg and the CNRS, under the framework of excellence programmes (ANR-10-IDEX-0002 and ANR-20-SFRI-0012), ITI Switch brings together the expertise of 105 members from 8 joint research units (UMR) and 11 university faculties.

Through transdisciplinary approaches, ITI Switch aims to understand, co-create, experiment with, and disseminate solutions for the sustainability of socio-hydrosystems. This is achieved notably through its seven “Living Labs”, which engage local authorities, public stakeholders, and private partners in international networks.
