We create Internet services with stupendous potential
SWITCH is totally dedicated to the Swiss universities – both emotionally and rationally. We have, however, also been providing valuable services outside the education and research network for many years, and you too can benefit from these.

Webcam, Open Source & Educational Links
In this section we have three things to offer you all at the same time and all absolutely free-of-charge. First of all, you can take over at the controls of SWITCH's webcam and enjoy the magnificent Zurich panorama. Secondly, you will find the latest versions of popular open-source programs here, via SWITCHmirror. We similarly give you direct access to the online catalogues of Switzerland's regional and academic libraries as well as to the websites of the Swiss institutes of higher education.
