How do scienceindustries and its member companies engage with young talent? You may be aware of our many years of commitment to “Schweizer Jugend forscht” (Swiss Youth in Science), the National Future Career Day or our role as a supporter of the 2023 International Chemistry Olympiad. Then there is SimplyScience: for almost 15 years, our own initiative to promote young talent has been advancing young people’s understanding of science and technology, inspiring them to study STEM subjects and introducing them to training and career opportunities in the fields of science and business.
It is of great importance to society that young people have a solid basic understanding of scientific interrelationships. With SimplyScience, we commit ourselves to ensuring that children and young people have motivating experiences with science and technology. To make this possible, the foundation, whose board of directors includes Board members of scienceindustries, works with numerous partners from the fields of science, public administration and civil society. In addition to the website SimplyScience.ch (available in the three Swiss national languages) with experiments, quizzes, articles or learning media for the classroom, the programme also includes presence at events, cooperation with schools and teachers, and competitions for school classes.
This special summer newsletter reports on these activities. Let yourself, your own or other children be inspired – we wish you a great summer!
Best regards
Stephan Mumenthaler, Director of scienceindustries
