Innovators Camp
Driving innovation for impact.
A joint innovation initiative for students and researchers from UZH and ZHdK.
UZH & ZHdK students and researchers come together to innovate for impact.
If you would like to work in an interdisciplinary team from other universities to learn about innovation whilst also developing ideas for a better future, then join this five-day design sprint workshop co-hosted by UZH, ZHdK and ETH.
Expect to be guided by experienced facilitators, inspired by change-makers and supported with a toolbox for experimentation that will unlock and develop your ideas.
Application will open soon!
Together for new ideas
Three leading Swiss universities join forces to offer students and researchers a unique and hands-on learning experience in innovation practices. With this year’s thematic focus on impact, we are contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
What to expect
Do you want to experience what it’s like to go from idea to prototype in just 5 days? Are you curious about what it’s like to work in a team together with a musician, a data scientist and an economist? Or a designer, an environmental engineer and a medical expert? Are you motivated to create a positive social impact in your field?
Then we’re looking forward to meeting you!
Expect to work together in teams with students and researchers from UZH, ZHdK and ETH and hone your collaboration and communication skills.
Five day hybrid workshop format with a mix of expert inputs, peer feedback, coaching and a lot of hands-on teamwork.
Connect with other students, innovation enablers, changemakers and role models from the startup and impact ecosystem.
The thematic focus of the third edition of the Innovators Camp is on the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN.
Shared experiences as a key element!
Shared experiences as a key element!This year's Innovators Camp will take place at the Student Project House, a space built for the thriving innovation community. This is where we all will team up, experiment, test and validate our concepts, supercharge our ideas for good and build tomorrow’s world more sustainable!

Dr. Lucie Rejman
“When students with different backgrounds such as design, engineering and other sciences come together, a melting pot is generated where great ideas are born. That’s why the Innovators Camp is unique, and your chance to get to know people from UZH, ZHdK and ETH.”
Philipp Kotsopoulos
“The Innovators Camp makes you get out of your comfort zone and find out what’s possible when creative minds from various disciplines get together and start collaborating.“
