This Semester
You get home from a routine day, and you don’t feel satisfied: what could that be? You feel there is something missing, but what? Maybe having something more would help? Or maybe it is a matter of focusing less on having, exploring more deeply your human potential? SSC is happy to guide you through the thoughts and ideas of one of the greatest psychologists and psychoanalysts of the XX century: Erich Fromm. What are the needs of human beings, that directly arise from her/his condition? What is a potential path that allows human potential to be best explored, and to share a joyful expression of oneself? How can society support humans in such aim?
The digital event is split into two evenings. In the first one (23/02/21, 18:00, Zoom ID: 931 0419 2754 link) we will focus on human needs and on the conditions that allow to develop human potential. After a 45 minute presentation, the participants will be split into different groups, have the opportunity to share thoughts and experiences and bring ideas all together in the end.
In the second evening (02/03/21, 18:00, Zoom ID: 951 8911 4612 link) we will focus on which societal model, according to Erich Fromm, helps to shape a social character that is aligned with the needs of human beings. The format will be analogous to the first evening.
Looking forward to meeting you there!

Interested in some SSC history? Take a look at events organized in previous semesters: Polybox
Haven’t we all been there - clicking on multiple online clothing shops, thinking of what to buy or not - what suits our style, what is good for our planet, which brand violates human or animal rights? And these decisions are not easy when it comes to everyday choices from buying flight tickets to choosing which milk to drink.
So for next time, to help make better decisions as a consumer, we bring to you a fun evening - a quiz on 17th March, online, starting at 7 pm - filled with exciting prizes, and Q&A on sustainable lifestyle choices. The zoom link will be sent after registration. This game will be followed up with a discussion from experts in the environmental field and hosted by Ph.D. students and researchers from the environmental engineering institute at ETH Zurich, specialized in understanding household consumption footprints. You can register in a group of 2-4 or individually (and you will be allocated to a group) and get competitive!

‘Physics’ and ‘sustainability’ – a fruitful pair! From 8-12th March the physics department at ETH will explore many facets in which the two can be fused, ranging from surprises in theoretical physics via energy technology all the way to complex climate simulations.
These talks will be intermeshed with hands-on working sessions, focused on DPHYS as a department and ETH as an institution, where we roll up our sleeves to put green goals into practice. A week of celebrating physics and sustaining our future as physicists! For the full program check out: Sustainability Week 2021 – Department of Physics.
