Activities

We are the public advocate as well as the umbrella organisation of the humanities and social sciences. We facilitate interdisciplinary exchange and promote dialogue between scientists, government and society.

Projects

We operate networks and platforms on issues that are important for researchers and modern society. We run event series to promote dialogue between scientists and the public.

All projects

Recto Verso event series
Each year, Recto Verso explores a socially relevant issue from different scientific perspectives. The events are run by SAGW member societies and institutes and are open to the public.
About the project
Heimspiel event series
Heimspiel makes humanities and social science research a tangible reality outside the major conurbations. Distinguished scientists return to their home town or other town they have strong ties with to give an insight into their career and passion for research.
About the project
Swiss Platform Ageing Society
