German Courses for Staff and Researchers at Bio-Technopark Schlieren

Improve your German for everyday life, work, and academic communication

Would you like to feel more confident speaking German in your daily life or professional environment?        

Read below the new offer for German courses at campus!

I offer tailor-made German courses for employees, researchers, and academic professionals at Bio-Technopark Schlieren. The lessons can be adapted to your individual needs, interests, and professional context.

Depending on your objectives, lessons can focus on:

Individual lessons

These are one-to-one lessons that are tailored to your goals and needs, maximizing your learning.

Group courses

These can be classic group language lessons, but also group lessons tailored to specific requests and needs. Importantly, the lessons will be at the Bio-Technopark! And time will be arranged depending on the specific group needs!

-- prices are per group, not per person -- 

German during your lunch break

30-minute conversation sessions: a relaxed opportunity to practise speaking German regularly in a small group – perfect for a lunch break.

About me

I'm Christin Viets, originally from northern Germany. I teach German as a foreign language since 2016 and previously worked as a German language lecturer at the University of Göttingen, teaching and preparing language certification exams.

Since 2024, I work as free-lance teacher for UZH and ETH professors and researchers, and for international employees of big corporations based in Zurich.

Interested?

Contact me to discuss what course format suits better your needs.
For group courses if you don’t know other interested people, contact me anyways, and I’ll pool the requests with similar needs in a single group.

MEET MALVERN PANALYTICAL AT THE AFTERWORK APÉRO

We're excited to join the Bio-Technopark Schlieren community at the Afterwork Apéro 2026 on 1 December.

Biologics development, made easier. Visit our booth to learn how advanced biophysical characterization can help speed biologics development and support confident decision-making from discovery to development and QC.

Our experts will be available to discuss key analytical questions throughout the biologics development workflow, including stability, molecular interactions, particle size, concentration and thermal behaviour.

Discover how solutions such as the Zetasizer Core, GCI WAVEsystem, Zetasizer Advance Range, Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) and MicroCal ITC & DSC help scientists generate the insights needed to advance their research.

📍 Can't make it on 1 December? Check out the attached flyer for theBiologics Development, Made Easierseries and find another opportunity to meet our experts.

Open Call for Proposals: Pathways to Space Commercialization


Starlab Space and the Center for Space and Aviation Switzerland and Liechtenstein Call for Proposals

Starlab Space and the Center for Space and Aviation Switzerland and Liechtenstein (CSA) are seeking proposals for investigations that use the unique microgravity environment to generate value on Earth. This Call for Proposals (CFP) supports teams and organizations seeking to mature scientific, technical, process or business concepts through access to microgravity aboard the International Space Station (ISS), with the ultimate goal of advancing potential applications, commercialization and future in-space operations.

Space-enabled concepts require extensive data and experimentation in microgravity to demonstrate feasibility, assess potential return on investment, and improve scientific, technical or process performance. Through this initiative, Starlab aims to help organizations generate the evidence needed to advance promising concepts toward viable applications, commercialization and potential future operations aboard Starlab.

Eligible research areas include, but are not limited to:
