The WSL Seminar Series with external speakers. The target audience are scientists, students and the interested public. The annual program also includes topics that appeal to a wider audience and are of general interest. A small number of dates each year are reserved for WSL internal speakers.
Depending on the venue, the lectures are transmitted to the WSL in Birmensdorf or to the SLF in Davos via video in the lecture hall. All lectures are open to the public.
