You can find the exact schedule and a description of the events below. At most events you can simply drop by unannounced. However, there are also some events for which we have set up a registration procedure for organisational reasons. Whether you have to register for an event or not can be found in the respective event description. Registration is only used to determine the number of participants. Your data will not be processed further or passed on to third parties.
Registration takes place via our OLAT course. The access code is ‘Pinguin2024’. Instructions for registering on the university-wide learning platform OpenOLAT can be found on the ZHDL website.
