On Thursday, April 3, 2025, 11 members of the ETH Alumni Basel chapter met at the Curling Halle Arlesheim for an extraordinary event. The participants came from a variety of disciplines, sectors and age groups – from recent graduates to long-standing, retired alumni. This made for a colorful and interesting mix that encouraged exchange and networking.

Curling, the ideal sport for this event, not only promoted teamwork, but also strategic thinking and fine motor skills – skills that many of us as ETH graduates have mastered. Each participant was able to get actively involved in the action, take on different roles and experience the game in a new way. It became clear how well curling fitted into this informal atmosphere: there was plenty of room for communication, laughter and the opportunity to make new contacts in a relaxed manner.

After the sporting part, there was a cozy dinner and aperitif in the club restaurant, where lively discussions took place and contacts were made. The event was a complete success and we look forward to further events with lively interest, especially from new alumni.

We would like to thank our experienced curler Urs Hofer for organizing the event and for his strategic advice during the game.
