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

This is an entire week of events by students. It is also called NHWZ, short for Nachhaltigkeitswoche Zürich.
