Date of the event: Wed, 8 September 2021, 10:00 - 16:00

You were part of an exciting journey: Together with us you have further developed an important basic infrastructure for the Swiss Higher Education institutions.
At the end of this part of the journey, we would like to invite project participants to celebrate with us what has been achieved and to look together further into the future.
After a long period without an opportunity for direct meetings, we would be very pleased to welcome you to this get together. To take account of the circumstances, most of the programme takes place in the open air (ship, garden, garden tents) and we adhere to the respective COVID precautions.
