My tasks include the planning and implementation of FameLab Switzerland, a science competition, the Cafes Scientifiques, the Global Science Film Festival or the organization of the Zunkunftstag at Campus Irchel and the Science and Nature Festival on Campus Irchel. I work with various partners such as reatch, Pint of Science, Open Innovation in Life Sciences and UZH Science Alumni . I also support institutes and researchers in organizing scientific meetings.
