What constitutes a just war? Who is morally permitted to kill? Philosophy has wrestled with these questions for centuries. Philosopher Regina Surber considers this line of questioning to be outdated. For her, the question is rather: Is it permissible to turn people into fighters?

What a race! 🚣🤩 UZH claimed victory in three of the four races at the 74th UNI–POLY rowing regatta! Under challenging wind conditions, UZH and ETH Zürich went head-to-head in exciting races full of team spirit.

💥 UZH came out on top in the student (men's and women's) and professor categories! Only the alumni race went to ETH, securing an overall 3:1 victory for UZH. Congratulations to all participating teams! 👏

📍 Due to construction work on the Rathaus bridge, the traditional racecourse was extended by 100 metres towards Lake Zurich. Strong winds and weaker currents made for an extra challenge on the water.

👏 A special highlight was the 16er-Future race, showcasing talented young rowers from Zurich's rowing clubs.

Desinformation findet in der Schweiz beträchtlichen Anklang – ob in Form von Verschwörungserzählungen zum Klimawandel oder falschen Gesundheitsbehauptungen. Das zeigt das Jahrbuch Qualität der Medien 2026 des Forschungszentrums Öffentlichkeit und Gesellschaft (fög) der Universität Zürich.

Eine repräsentative Befragung von 1222 Personen zeigt:
🔹 57 % betrachten Desinformation als grosses gesellschaftliches Problem – 8 Prozentpunkte mehr als 2021.
🔹 37 % halten die Behauptung für plausibel, Regierungen würden den Klimawandel als Vorwand nutzen, um die Bevölkerung zu kontrollieren.
🔹 Wer regelmässig journalistische Qualitätsmedien nutzt, ist weniger anfällig für desinformative Verschwörungsaussagen. Wer sich hingegen fast ausschliesslich über Social Media informiert oder kaum Nachrichten konsumiert, ist anfälliger.

Die Studie zeigt zudem: Nicht nur die Nachrichtenquelle zählt. Auch die Fähigkeit, manipulative Argumentationsmuster zu erkennen, stärkt die Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Desinformation.

Verlässlicher Journalismus und Medienkompetenz sind zentral für eine widerstandsfähige demokratische Öffentlichkeit. Doch während die Medienqualität in der Schweiz insgesamt stabil bleibt, nimmt die Vielfalt der Berichterstattung ab.

“One year in China feels like five years in Europe.”

For UZH alumnus Thomas Oetterli, leading Schindler’s business in China challenged long-held assumptions. He encountered deep expertise and a pace of change that left a lasting impression. Returning to Europe, he found, was almost harder than adapting to China.

💡 In an interview with UZH Alumni, the Business Administration graduate reflects on what these experiences mean for Swiss industry. His message: innovation requires continuous effort. Close ties with universities, skilled graduates and keeping core expertise in Switzerland or Europe all play a role.

UZH and Kunsthaus Zürich are joining forces to uncover the stories behind works of art.

🤝 The two institutions are deepening their collaboration in research and teaching. Their first joint project will focus on provenance research, examining the history of artworks and the circumstances in which they changed hands.

🔎 Art historian Mattes Lammert and his team at UZH will investigate the networks of collectors, galleries, art dealers and museums, focusing particularly on the period from 1933 to 1945. Their independent research will complement the Kunsthaus’s examination of 205 works from the Foundation E. G. Bührle Collection.

💡 The partnership will create new opportunities for students and early-career researchers, including two PhD projects. By bringing academic research and museum practice closer together, the institutions aim to open up new perspectives on art history.

Trust is not just a moral value. It is essential for functioning economies and stable political relationships.

💡 Decades of research by UZH economist Ernst Fehr show that cooperation depends on more than financial incentives. People are often willing to act fairly, even at a personal cost. But when trust is broken, cooperation can quickly disappear.

🤝 In his experiments, Fehr demonstrates how trust enables mutually beneficial exchanges. People who exploit others may benefit in the short term, but risk losing valuable relationships in the long run. This applies not only to individuals and businesses, but also to governments and international agreements.

💬 “Trust is not a moral luxury, it is a prerequisite for stable economic and political relations,” says Fehr. His findings highlight why fairness, reputation and reliable institutions matter for society.

Our immune system protects us from disease. But sometimes, it mistakenly attacks the body it's meant to defend.

🔬 At UZH, researchers are investigating how immune cells are regulated and why this balance sometimes fails. Their findings could open new paths toward more targeted treatments for autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS).

🎥 In the video, UZH immunologist Nicole Joller explains the role of regulatory T cells in keeping our immune system in check and explores factors that may contribute to autoimmune diseases.

🦠 UZH researchers Roland Martin and Mireia Sospedra Ramos are exploring how misdirected immune cells contribute to MS. They are also investigating the role of gut bacteria in the development of the disease and working on therapies that target harmful immune responses without weakening the body's overall defenses.
