Hi everyone! I am a student in Environmental Sciences and Engineering from EPFL, Switzerland, and I am looking for a place to do my Master thesis (1 semester duration). I am specialized in sustainability and have great interest for permaculture and ecovillage. I am very interested and super motivated in participating to a research about permaculture or ecovillage. Does someone know research institutions or university research institutes studying permaculture? I struggle to find such place where I could go. Thanks al lot for your help and advices! Léa
Hey, you've come to the right place! Well right off the top of my head I'd reconmend you visit krameterhof, in your area. (i think there's two? one southern alps one north Switzerland). PRI + other orgs run projects all over the world, Primarily educational. google will do you just as much good for you here, as I'm not too familiar. Maybe also consider Richard Perkins, as he's up in sweden doing regenerative agriculture (profitable) and keyline design. I'm not sure there's too much in the scientific community yet specifically counterculture related (yet!), but i know some unis have small innovation stuff going on.
