Scientifica: information for participants

Topic 2026: How we create knowledge

While researchers are completely free in how they explore complex issues and develop new ideas, there are clear rules and principles governing how findings are turned into new knowledge. The results must be comprehensible and verifiable.

By educating students, scientists pass on new knowledge and train the next generation of researchers and specialists. They contribute current knowledge to business, politics and society.

In collaboration with the City of Zurich, we show how science and scientists also shape life in the city and its administration.
