How it works

Each session lasts 15 minutes. You will receive concise, condensed information on a particular topic and have time to ask questions at the end. Just the right length of time to enjoy a coffee while you listen and get to know the people behind the ETH Library.

The Coffee Lectures are held external page via Zoom at 3.15 p.m. on Wednesday afternoons from 05 June to 03 July 2024. We host the events in English.

You can take part without registering. For browser-​based Zoom sessions, we recommend using Chrome.

Good to know: if you miss an event, you can still access it. We record the sessions and provide access to the presentation slides on our website.

Are you interested in a particular topic? Then we look forward to receiving your suggestion. Whether you have questions regarding a certain tool or want information on a topic relating to information searches, academic writing or publishing – send us your suggested topic at fuehrungen@library.ethz.ch and we will see whether it is suitable for this event series.
