Next generation days at ETH Zurich
Have you been longing to see the inside of the institutes for process technology and chemical engineering at ETH Zurich? And even do some practical work on laboratory and experimental equipment? This is all possible at the so-called next generation days! They are directed at school-leavers and prospective high school graduates and are organised by us together with the ETHZ.

Selecting a subject and courses
University or university of applied sciences? Is a Master’s qualification needed after a Bachelor degree? What specialisations are there and where? How practically relevant are the courses? We will give you an overview of the range of educational courses in Switzerland with direct links.
Practical work experience and starting a career
We will actively help you to find practical work experience in line with your interests and skills. About forty companies are members of our association and would be delighted to find motivated young people. Our members can be very helpful when you enter the profession and during the later stages of your career. Many threads come together in the Managing Board. Don’t hesitate to contact us.
Further training
Our range of specialist further education is broad and is also directed at young people. This will enable you to get a taste of unknown areas or specialise in a specific field.
Innovation prize
Is your degree dissertation so good that it might deserve to be awarded our annual innovation prize? In this case, it’s best to speak to your professor; he can contact us.
Networking
Our events are a single major networking service: this is where lecturers and practitioners, old hands and young researchers, the department manager from the local pharmaceutical company and the reaction technology specialist, who has just come back from a period abroad, all meet up. In a relaxed atmosphere you can all ask the questions on the tips of your tongues and make important contacts for your entry into the profession. All events are free for students and university students.
