THE PHILIPPINES-SWITZERLAND FORUM
THE PHILIPPINES-SWITZERLAND FORUM
Formally strengthened in March 2025 through a dedicated message of support from Senator Loren Legarda, the Philippine Studies Program at the University of Zurich (UZH) represents a vital academic bridge between Switzerland and the Philippines.
This initiative is primarily hosted within the Department of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies (ISEK), the largest of its kind in Switzerland. The program focuses on "shared stewardship" of history, particularly regarding the archival materials and material culture held in Swiss collections. By fostering scholarly exchange and providing a platform for Filipino voices, the program ensures that the Philippines is a contributor to global thought rather than just a subject of study.

UNIVERSITY OF ZURICH
UNIVERSITY OF ZURICH
Founded in 1833, the University of Zurich holds the distinction of being Europe's first university established by a democratic political system rather than a monarch or the church.
As Switzerland's largest university and a member of the prestigious League of European Research Universities (LERU), UZH is a global leader in research excellence with a legacy of twelve Nobel Prize laureates.
Its iconic main building, designed by architect Karl Moser, stands as a "House of Science" overlooking the city. With seven faculties and over 28,000 students, UZH provides a world-class environment for interdisciplinary innovation, making it a powerful cornerstone for international collaboration and enduring cross-cultural friendship.
