Scientifica - Zurich Science Festival
Overview
Intro
Nine Days of Science: 1,000 researchers from ETH and UZH welcome you at exhibition booths, in labs, lecture halls, and at shows. Kick-off on August 22 at the Zurich Innovation Park in Dübendorf.
What do researchers do in the labs at ETH and the University of Zurich? And how does this lead to new knowledge? At Scientifica, Switzerland’s largest science festival, scientists will give you an inside look at their research.
On Saturday, August 22, Scientifica kicks off with race cars, rockets, the Hyperloop, and drone shows at the Zurich Innovation Park in Dübendorf.
On August 23, the Hönggerberg and Irchel campuses will open their doors, featuring topics such as quantum physics, dark matter, forests and climate change, and brain research. You can look forward to lab tours, exhibition booths, short lectures, and shows.
From August 24 to 28, companies in the city of Zurich, as well as ETH and UZH, will offer exclusive behind-the-scenes tours (registration opens August 17).
On the weekend of August 29 and 30, over 1,000 researchers will welcome you to the main buildings of ETH and UZH, where you’ll find 70 exhibition booths and more than 80 events.
Experience nine days of science through direct interaction.
