These are the Coffee Lectures in November

This November is going to be interesting. In the new Coffee Lectures, we will teach you new tools and relevant topics for your academic work in a quarter of an hour.

Experience a plagiarism detection software in practice, learn how to proceed when it comes to funding publication fees for SNF projects, and use the crowd in georeferencing historical maps. The new events programme for the Coffee Lectures is now online.

How it works

Each session lasts 15 minutes. You will receive concise, condensed information on a particular topic and have time to ask questions at the end. Just the right length of time to enjoy a coffee while you listen and get to know the people behind the ETH Library.

The online events are held via external page Zoom at 3.15 p.m. on Wednesday afternoons from 01 November to 29 November 2023. We host the events in English.

You can take part without registering. For browser-based Zoom sessions, we recommend using Chrome.

Good to know: if you miss an event, you can still access it. We record the sessions and provide access to the presentation slides.  

We welcome suggestions for new topics!

Are you interested in a particular topic? Then we look forward to receiving your suggestion. Whether you have questions regarding a certain tool or want information on a topic relating to information searches, academic writing or publishing – send us your suggested topic at and we will see whether it is suitable for this event series.

More than just data – Benefit from know-how
