VSETH
We are here to let you dance, because we know how much fun it is.
We organize dance courses for hundreds of students each semester. Additionally, we offer workshops and dance events. Our most famous event is the weekly Open Dancing on Mondays. Feel free to just drop in and enjoy dancing Ballroom, Latin, Salsa and Bachata in a relaxed atmosphere.
Every Wednesday we (a small team of motivated students) organize the bar in Yu&Mi (previously: ABBsolut). From 18:00 – 24:00 we serve cold beer, good whiskys, delicious drinks and strong shots in a cozy ambience. You can socialize here, suppress the everyday life in a classy way, have a meeting or just enjoy the beer after it.
Every semester the Filmstelle presents a new thematic film series. The programme includes masterpieces and cult films as well as long hidden gems of all ages and countries. With its comprehensive choice of films the Filmstelle is an important part of the ETH’s cultural activities and it is also in close contact with Zurich’s film scene and cinemas. That’s why not only students but also film lovers from the surrounding areas attend the well-frequented film nights.
Every Tuesday at StuZ2, bar at 7.00 pm, film at 7.30 pm. Free entry for VSETH and VSUZH members, regular ticket CHF 5.
Forum&Contact fosters the direct connection between companies and students and offers assistance with their career entry to students. Each spring we organise the Polymesse, a company fair which gives over 130 companies the opportunity to present themselves to the students.
Anybody wishing to spend his time in Zurich not only by studying but also by enjoying the rich cultural life has found his destination with Kulturstelle. Each month during the semester we offer a diverse cultural program for the best addresses in Zurich for the price of a cinema ticket – be quick, contingents are limited. Also, we look behind the scenes of ETH and support student’s projects.
The Open Air Cinema Committee (FLiK) organizes the annual open air cinema at the ETH Hönggerberg campus. From Wednesday to Friday, three different movies are shown for 600 people each to promote the cultural offer for students. In addition, a bar and grill is operated and live music is played starting in the afternoon.
ETH Model United Nations brings the popular concept of Model UN to ETH. The idea behind Model UN is the authentic simulation of the United Nations and its various committees (Security Council, World Bank, WHO, etc.) where students take the role of an ambassador to a specific country and represent their nation’s interests and points of view on topics such as free trade agreements or international security. What does ETH Model UN offer? Attending international conferences with partial scholarship, intensive exchange with students from around the world, gaining experience in public speech and other soft skills such as negotiation, improving English skills, interesting and controversial Debates and weekly debating sessions on Thursdays 7-9pm.
The Gaming and Entertainment Committe (GECo) organises a variety of events around gaming and board games. From LAN parties to casual Social Gaming Events to Boardgame Days – there’s something for everyone.
