D-BAUG @Scientifica2023
Scientifica, the science festival organised by ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, takes place from 28 August to 3 September 2023. This year's theme is "What holds the world together". D-BAUG is taking part with twelve exciting contributions, including a discussion on Zurich as E-Bike City, a film screening, several exhibitions, short lectures and guided tours as well as a workshop.
The eighth edition of Scientifica kicks off on 28 August with the preliminary programme "Science and the City", organised in cooperation with the City of Zurich. On the weekend of 2 and 3 September, the event continues in the main buildings of ETH and UZH, on the Hönggerberg and at the Irchel site. Visitors will be able to experience science up close at interactive exhibition stands, in lectures and workshops, and to exchange ideas with researchers. D-BAUG is participating in all categories. Many thanks to the researchers for their contributions! Below is a small excerpt from the extensive programme.
