The first Townhall "USI and the third Covid-19 semester: the challenges and how to face them" will be held online on Wednesday, 24 February. A meeting dedicated to students at the beginning of the third term in pandemic conditions. This first meeting is part of USI25 and aims to bring together the university community in a virtual round table, allowing professors, faculty, students and administrative staff to share information and answer questions of common interest. Access link through icorsi to join as student: www.usi.ch/townhall

 

As the third Covid-19 semester begins - the first to be officially launched from remote - the faculties and services wish to share directly with the students the state of play, present the challenges of the coming months and the projects with which they intend to tackle them.
The student's active interaction will be essential: they will be able to follow the event and ask questions via chat.
A moderator will facilitate the discussion and bring questions to the attention of the speakers.

The meeting will be held online on Wednesday, 24 February, from 6:30-8:00 pm with the following lineup:
