Conference outing and dinner will take place on Thursday afternoon.
Trip to Einsiedeln Abbey
A half-day trip will be organised, giving the participants an opportunity to explore Einsiedeln Abbey, one of Switzerland’s most significant religious and historical landmarks. Located approximately 30 km southeast of Zurich in the picturesque village of Einsiedeln, this Benedictine monastery has been a centre of pilgrimage and monastic life for over a thousand years.
The guided tour will include visits to the abbey church and the historic library, which houses a vast collection of rare manuscripts.
Additionally, a visit to the Rosengarten Brewery will be offered. In this family-owned brewery, located in the heart of Einsiedeln, guests will have the opportunity to sample a selection of locally crafted beers and get a taste of Swiss brewing heritage.
Conference dinner
We are delighted to invite you to the conference dinner at Landgasthof Halbinsel Au, a historic country inn established in 1865, nestled on the hilltop of the scenic Au Peninsula along the western shore of Lake Zurich. This charming venue offers a unique setting with panoramic views of the lake and the Alps.
Welcome reception
The welcome reception will take place on Sunday, September 7th, from 16:00 to 19:00 at the ETH Hönggerberg campus. It will begin in the foyer of the main physics building and continue in the adjacent garden area – a great opportunity to meet, greet, and connect with fellow attendees.
