A new perspective every Tuesday
Discover ETH Zurich from a new perspective on Tuesday evenings. In 2024, the Public Tours will once again include well-known and exotic ETH locations on campus and beyond. The guided tours of the ETH institutes, laboratories, collections and archives look forward to your visit every week.
Whether historical in the university archives or contemporary in the Student Project House, whether down-to-earth in the earth science museum focusTerra or high-flying in the Swiss Academic Space Initiative, whether artistic in the Graphics Collection or technical in the robotics laboratory - ETH Zurich's public tours offer experiences for a wide range of interests.
ETH Zurich opens its doors to the public every Tuesday evening. The ETH collections and archives, institutes and laboratories showcase their treasures and take you into the world of science. In 2024, 74 public tours are on offer with a mixture of new and highly topical subjects, such as virtual reality in chemistry, and classics, such as Albert Einstein. It starts on 9 January with the fascinating holdings of building culture in the inventory in Embrach. Registration for the tours in the first quarter is possible via the ETH events calendar.
Beyond the campus
More and more public tours are taking place away from the Campus Centre or the Hönggerberg. The AgroVet-Strickhof in Lindau, for example, takes you through a high-tech cowshed and on a tour in the centre of Zurich you can take a look ahead at the urban development of the future. You can visit the Zurich Innovation Park at Dübendorf airfield four times. The student initiatives AMZ, ARIS, Cellsius and Swissloop will be presenting their work on electric racing cars, space rockets, sustainable aeroplanes and hyperloop technology. For the first time, the Public Tours will also be visiting the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen.
ETH spin-offs are back again
Three ETH spin-offs will be showing off their production facilities as part of Public Tours 2024. At neustark in Bieber, you can find out how CO₂ can be stored in demolition concrete. In the halls of Planted in Kemptthal, you can see how sustainable meat substitutes are produced. And Scewo in Winterthur shows how it is revolutionising wheelchair mobility. On these tours, you will experience at first hand how research becomes business.
