Sign up for From Roots to Results, an interactive reflection on how your family’s educational background influences also your own academic path.
While our careers are influenced by many complex factors, the specific dimension of academic lineage—or being the first in the family to attend university—is often overlooked.
In this event, we are zooming in on this specific dimension. We will look at how family educational background also sets aspects of the stage, while celebrating the resilience and achievements that brought all of us to where we are today.
This isn’t just about looking back—it’s about understanding the power of your own journey.

This event is organized in collaboration with the FirstGen Network to support all those studying or working in Switzerland who are the first in their families to attend university. The discussion will conclude with an apéritif, offering an informal moment for exchange among participants.
