Tag der Lehre
The annual “Tag der Lehre” (Day of Excellence in Teaching) brings together the whole UZH teaching community to celebrate innovative teaching with inspiring workshops, exhibitions, discussions and input on current trends in teaching.
Tag der Lehre 2026
The next Teaching Day will take place on Wednesday, 28 October 2026. All teaching staff of UZH are invited, but instructors from other universities are also warmly welcome. Teaching Day has been held since 2009 and highlights the importance of innovative teaching at the University of Zurich. Further information on the program and registration will be published here in due course.
Launch of the Teaching Award Survey
The annual “Tag der Lehre” also marks the launch of the Teaching Award nomination survey involving all UZH students. Over a two- to three-week period, all students at UZH can nominate their favorite instructors for the Teaching Award for the following year. The UZH Teaching Award is presented every year at the end of April at the “Dies academicus” – the celebration of the founding of UZH.
