Partnership with the University of Geneva
Even closer cooperation since 2017
In 2017, the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and UZH entered into a strategic partnership agreement. The largest comprehensive universities in the German and French-speaking parts of Switzerland have long maintained close links in research, teaching and student exchange. The aim of this partnership is to foster and intensify these links and strengthen the visibility and outreach of both institutions within Switzerland and abroad.
