Collegium Helveticum

Interdisciplinary approaches for sustainable solutions

 

In academia, the interconnection of disciplines frequently paves the way for groundbreaking discoveries. Therefore, the natural sciences, engineering, medical, humanities, and social sciences engage in dialogue at the Collegium Helveticum with fields such as architecture, design, and art. Serving as both a meeting point and a global forum, this institution disrupts conventional thought patterns and fosters forward-thinking ideas.

Collegium Helveticum

Founded in 1997 by ETH Zurich, the Collegium Helveticum was established as a forum for dialogue among academic disciplines. Today, it stands as a beacon of international visibility and is currently the sole Institute for Advanced Study in Switzerland modelled after the renowned IAS in Princeton, USA. Alongside ETH Zurich, the University of Zurich and the Zurich University of the Arts are now also involved. The Collegium is located in the former Federal Semper Observatory, close to the universities.
