The ETH Alumni faculty groups Agri-Food and Biotech jointly celebrated 150 years anniversary on September 25, 2019. Our motto was plant cultivation and award-winning cuisine. About 35 interested Alumni dove into the world of science at Syngenta Crop Protection and were afterwards spoiled in the restaurant “Genuss-Apotheke”.

50 interested students and alumni showed up at the biotech alumni’s career event on March 27, 2019, in the science lounge of the BSSE. After a short introduction, three alumni shared the stories about their career with the audience.

Another year passed and from February 15 to 17, 2019, the BSSE ski weekend went into its third round in beautiful Lenzerheide. The group house Raschainas hosted the eager skiers and snowboarders for two nights and two days full of sun, slope exploring and cozy evenings.

On October 11th, the official Biotech Alumni faculty group and the D-BSSE meets industry association organized the second annual joint event for its members with the focus on strengthening the network of biotech alumni and current students. This year's edition was of particular importance, due to ETH BSSE department's 10th anniversary, which is why the evening in Basel became a major celebration and was officially supported by the department and the ETH itself.
