Into the summer with knowledge and caffeine – the Coffee Lectures in June

Can't see your way through the open access jungle? Tangled up in literature management? Lacking inspiration for your holiday reading? Then come to one of our Coffee Lectures. All you need is 15 minutes.

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 Coffee Lectures are held external pagevia Zoom at 15.15 on Wednesday afternoons from 05 June to 03 July 2024. 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 on our website.
