Join us for the handover of the petition in Bern. Show up and give this cause visibility – there are many of us who want things to change now!

The official handover of the signatures will be followed by a small apéro for everyone who shows up in Bern in support of the petition – let's celebrate this achievement together!

Of course this event is free, but we are asking people to register to help us plan.

Schedule:

14:00 assembly on Bundesterrasse West

14:30 handover of signatures to the Parlamentsdienste

followed by a glass of wine, a beer, or a glass of soda or juice for everyone to toast to reaching this milestone

by 16:00 we will have to leave the premisses

More than 8000 people have signed the Petition asking the Federal Assembly to create more permanent positions for postdoctoral researchers in Swiss Academia. Now we are ready to ask the stakeholders in Swiss Higher Education to sit down together to create solutions. For the well-being of the mid-level staff and the universities, precarity needs to be addressed now! For better research, teaching and working conditions, we need more permanent jobs in Academia: What would be possible if the mid-level staff in Swiss Higher Education was not primarily surviving but actually thriving at work?
