Girls* on Ice Switzerland provides direct and effective access to natural sciences, art and mountaineering and sets new standards in the field of science communication. We offer two expeditions per year: one in German and one in French. Additionally, we provide workshops and excursions for all school types and grades.
We are organized as a non-profit association working in close collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institute. We are supported by the Gebert Rüf Foundation and the Swiss Federal Office for Gender Equality.
