Open Science & Knowledge Security

How can we keep science open and international, while remaining secure at the same time?

If you are working on sensitive technologies, involved in international collaborations, or simply curious about the ethical dimensions of research, join us on 17 November 2025 at ETH Zürich (HG F7) for a discussion on this fascinating topic.

Organized by AVETH, the event brings together experts from leading Swiss universities to explore how researchers can uphold academic freedom, ethical responsibility, and institutional autonomy in an era of global collaboration. Find out more about our experts here linked to our LinkedIn post.

The program includes a Roundtable Session by registration only (13:00–15:30) for in-depth exchange with experts, followed by an Open Panel Discussion (17:30–19:00) and an apéro in the foyer.

Students, scientific staff, tech/admin staff, teaching staff, executives, everyone at the ETH: You are invited to join the conversation in envisioning how openness and knowledge security can coexist to enable science in turbulent times! To register for the event, please go to the following link.
