Call for Speakers: Teaching Tools for Bridging Science and Societal Partners

We are looking for short contributions (pitches or marketplace presentations) showcasing a concrete teaching tool that engages students with societal partners in innovative ways. Tools may take different forms, such as a specific activity (e.g. art-based reflection, role-play simulations), a stakeholder engagement method (e.g. field immersion, expert–student roundtables), or an assessment format (e.g. poster, podcast), and may combine several of these elements. We consider tools used at Swiss universities or universities of applied sciences and from a variety of course formats that seek to bridge the boundary between science and societal partners (e.g. project-based learning, simulations, service learning, creative or media-based approaches).

Selected speakers will present their tool in a short, structured format and take part in interactive discussions to further develop these tools. This will help prepare them for potential submission to an upcoming new module on teaching tools in the framework of the td-net toolbox, a digital toolbox developed by td-net. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange with peers, gain visibility for their work, and receive input to further develop their teaching tools.

For more background, see the SYA project report “Innovative Teaching Formats at the Science-Society Interface: Reflections and Future Directions in Swiss Higher Education”.

Contact form

Please submit a title and short abstract (100-300 words) in English language describing: a) the teaching tool/format (including its type: activity, stakeholder engagement method, and/or assessment format) b) its context and purpose c) key outcomes and lessons learned

Deadline: 30 April

We will get back to you in early May.

    45 ans de la SATW : de la vision à la force façonnante

    Le 9 avril 1981, les neuf sociétés spécialisées réunies au Palais fédéral à Berne adoptent à l'unanimité les statuts de l'association, posant ainsi les fondements de l'Académie suisse des sciences techniques SATW. Quarante-cinq ans plus tard, l'organisation est exactement ce que ses fondateurs avaient espéré : une actrice indépendante et engagée, à l'interface de la technique, de la science et de la société.

    Rapport sur l'éducation en Suisse 2026 : Ce que les données signifient pour la promotion des MINT et l'égalité des chances

    Tous les trois ans, le Centre suisse de coordination pour la recherche en éducation présente le rapport sur l'éducation en Suisse. Celui-ci offre un état des lieux complet de l'ensemble du système éducatif suisse, du préscolaire à la formation continue. Le cinquième rapport de ce type a été publié le 23 mars 2026 et sert de base de connaissances à la Confédération et aux cantons pour le pilotage du système éducatif et la formulation d'objectifs communs en matière de politique de l'éducation. Dans l'interview, Edith Schnapper, responsable de la promotion de la relève à la SATW, explique ce que le rapport révèle pour le domaine MINT et pourquoi l'encouragement ciblé n'est efficace que s'il intervient tôt, est conçu de manière interactive et tient compte des barrières structurelles.
