Scientifica – Zurich’s Research Festival

Every three years, the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich open their doors and invite the general public to experience the world of scholarship first-hand. Scientifica – which began its tradition in 2011 – dedicates an entire weekend to a single topic that is related to the research of scholars from a variety of disciplines at both universities.

1,500 researchers, over 300 attractions, and nearly 40,000 visitors: The Zurich Science Festival, organized by UZH and ETH Zurich, was a huge success.
