3 April 2025, 14:00 – 18:00 | ETH Zürich, Hönggerberg, HIL H 40.4 (Plaza).

The Urban Research Seminar at D-BAUG aims to build a bottom-up network of early-career researchers on urban topics.

Building on urbanization as a shared research topic of the department, the D-BAUG Urban Research Seminar intends to explore the variety of perspectives, concepts and methods from which urban research is approached at D-BAUG. The seminar consists of short talks in which early-career researchers from various institutes have the opportunity to present and discuss their urban research agendas. It provides a bottom-up platform to foster transdisciplinary exchange between researchers who study technology, infrastructure, built environment, nature and humans in cities. All researchers at ETH are welcome to join.
