Future Day 2023
National Future Day is taking place on 9 November 2023, when fifth to seventh grade children will have the opportunity at ETH Zurich to delve into the diverse professional world of science, technology and administration.
The focus of Future Day is on switching perspectives: pupils are invited to explore careers that are traditionally assigned to the opposite sex. This enables them to gain new impressions and expand their professional horizons.
There are two ways for a pupil to be given a practical insight at ETH Zurich:
Basic programme
As an ETH member, you are invited to show children from your own family or those of relatives or friends your own workplace on this day as long as the safety regulations of your area of activity permit this.
Please discuss your plans with your supervisor and organise a child’s visit in good time so that he or she benefits from Future Day and gains a good impression.
Centrally organised events
Various departments and units of ETH Zurich offer special projects on Future Day that are centrally organised. The programmes last from 8 a.m. until 1.30 p.m. and cover a range of topics from programming and robotics to cell biology.
Both children of ETH members and those without ties to the university are welcome. In order to promote social mobility, this year for the first time there will be quotas: a third each of the places will be given respectively to children of ETH members, children of non-ETH members and those from families with KulturLegi.
