Browse current eventsHow it works
From landing to belonging.
You do not need to plan the whole week in advance. Register for what interests you and let the rest happen.
Arriving in Zürich a few days late? Join whatever is still running and check the regular semester programme, which starts right after Welcome Week.
- Before you arrive
Create your account
Set up your ESN Zürich account so you can register as soon as the Welcome Week programme goes live.

Come to a first low-key event
The opening activities are deliberately easy to join alone. Nobody knows anybody yet, which is exactly what makes them work.
- During the week
Pick your programme
Each activity has its own event page with meeting point, price, and registration details.
- Right after
