Event Details

It is again time for the MIT Club of Switzerland’s annual general meeting! The board is excited to welcome you to attend the AGM near Zurich on Saturday, May 17, 2025, hosted at the Umwelt Arena Switzerland, an exhibition and competence center for all things sustainability and environment. The event kicks off with a private behind-the-scenes tour of the sustainable design, architecture, and energy use of the Umwelt Arena building. Afterwards we'll enjoy a relaxed lunch together before heading to a meeting room to discuss the MIT Club. There is time before and after the official program to explore the exhibitions on your own. The event is modular - you can sign up for some or all additional activities as you wish!

As the forms of advanced eduction evolve at MIT and around the world, we too need to keep our club up-to-date. This year we will be considering revisions to our Club Statutes regarding the definition of membership. The AGM is your opportunity to participate in the Club’s review of last year and add your voice to our planning for the future. We hope you’ll join us!
