The Confederation supports SwissCollNet and its digital platform of natural science collections for research

The Young Academy, in collaboration with td-net, invites lecturers and teachers to the workshop ‘teaching tools for bridging science and societal partners’ on 23 June 2026 at PROGR in Bern. The focus is on innovative teaching approaches at the interface between science and society. The half-day workshop (09:15–13:00) combines an interactive marketplace for teaching materials and formats with thematic group discussions on challenges, opportunities and transdisciplinary methods. The registration deadline is 5 June 2026.

On 5 June 2026, the CosmoVision project group of the Young Academy will host an event at the Cinematte in Bern to mark the publication of an anthology produced as part of the project, which contains numerous contributions from a wide range of countries. The project invites you to an evening of knowledge exchange, where art and science not only meet but also engage in dialogue, improvise and create something new together. This book is the result of a transdisciplinary journey that weaves together artistic practice, collaborative research and decolonial ethics to explore how different forms of knowledge can coexist, resonate with one another and transform each other.

The yearly literature recommendations by the community, the Tour d'Horizon, and our literature analysis have been published.
