The Academy

The Academy of Zurich is an association under Art. 60 et seq. of the Swiss Civil Code, based in Zurich. It promotes interdisciplinary exchange between science, business, education and public administration.

Our purpose

We create spaces where people with expertise, intellectual depth and curiosity work together on questions that matter. We hold events and roundtables, publish the insights they produce, provide independent expertise and offer in-depth professional training.

Our principles

  • Neutrality – politically and denominationally independent, in the best Swiss tradition.
  • Confidentiality – our rounds follow the Chatham House Rule.
  • Diversity of perspective – we deliberately bring together people from different disciplines and sectors.
  • Non-profit – all resources are used solely for the association's purpose.

Organisation

The association's bodies are the General Assembly, the Board and the auditors. Details of the Board and the statutes will be published here shortly.
