In a world with everchanging technological advancements and increasing complexity, it is crucial to grant access to the essential principles of science, regardless of their level of education or background. This is exactly where Phänomena comes in, by offering the public exciting science-based learning opportunities in an understandable and hands-on experience; to inspire all of Switzerland and its nearby countries.
Sustainable knowledge for the generations of tomorrow
From an educational standpoint, Phänomena is here to show each and every one of us how we can make responsible decisions with the limited resources our earth has to offer. From March to October 2026, in collaboration with various universities, technical colleges, and innovative companies, Phänomena will take visitors on a journey through the laws of nature, fascinating phenomenon, and complex interrelationships to life on Earth in multifaceted ways. With interactive exhibits, experiments, and workshops as well as a digital knowledge platform; the topics of biodiversity, climate, energy, mobility, physics and chemistry, artificial intelligence and robotics, and lastly outer space will all be specifically presented without being too instructive or complicated.
“To make rational decisions in life and at the ballot box, to distinguish half-truths from evidence-based findings and to shape our future in a way that is worth living, basic scientific knowledge is indispensable,” says Urs Müller, General Director of Phänomena, with conviction. “The aim is to raise people’s awareness of pressing social issues and provide new impetus for solutions.”
Phänomena is here to close the gaps and bridge the connection between science and the public while supporting a constructive dialogue within these topics. Phänomena will be more than just Switzerland’s biggest discovery world, it will be a place for lasting experiences, wonder, and amazement for all ages, from children to teens to adults. It will invite everyone to open their eyes for the wonders of the amazing world we live in.
