Our Network

The primary target group of our work are UZH and ETHZ researchers and citizens of Zürich and its proximities, whereas our network expands beyond Zürich's and even Switzerland's borders.

Below, we present the regional, national and international partner organisations of the Participatory Science Academy.

In Zürich

The working group aims to intensify cooperation among German-speaking countries, to use and foster commonalities, to exchange best practice and to establish effective ways of (informal) exchange. We strive for a trilateral project consortium, strong international presence and synergies, and close cooperation in general. Moreover, the concern is to further develop CS in German-speaking countries in terms of content and quality and to identify and set priorities jointly.
