Sustainability, Students & Ideas
We are an independent student association (Verein) supporting discussions & raising awareness about sustainability in Zurich. We are made up of 5 major universities: UZH, ETH, PHZH, ZHAW and ZHdK. All our events are free & meant for students.
Our Main Event: The Sustainability Week
It is in the name! The Sustainability Week in April is our main event, where we organise an entire week of events by students. It is also called NHWZ, short for Nachhaltigkeitswoche Zürich.
The next Sustainability Week is from 13 - 17 April 2026.
In 2025, we funded & supported 61 student events like these: bike cinema, tea history discussion, upcycling workshops and food save lunches. You can organise one too and we support you!
Our Year-Round Events
We have events all year round, including NHWZ Weekend retreat, panel discussions, hikes and new events which you might end up suggesting! Check out more in our upcoming events page.
