FameLab Switzerland 2020 - Zurich semi final

This year, we had 10 people starting out on the FameLab stage for the Zurich virtual semi-final on the 11th of June.

Our FameLab jury (Prof. Sarah Springman, Rector of ETH Zurich; Dr. Petra Bättig-Frey, ZHAW School of Life Sciences and Facility Management and Dr. Claudine Leysinger, Graduate Campus UZH) had a tough job selecting the three best among some very good talks.

Our congratulations go to Abishek Narayan, Gwen Schoenfeld and Sarah Khawaja for their successful talks. These three young people will represent Zurich in the Swiss national final of FameLab taking place in Bern on 23 September.

Thank you to all who contributed to this event! A special thank you goes to our judges for their support!
