Take care of yourself and others! Room HCI E2 (white-on-blue heart in map above) is a safe space to retreat to if you or others feel distressed or overwhelmed. Take note of the entrance on your way onto the grounds. All reasons to visit are valid. We are here to safely help, not judge. More information HERE. Read our Code of Conduct HERE.

HELPERS

Our awareness helpers around the grounds are ready to offer immediate assistance. If you fell unwell or discomforted by a group or individual seek out the nearest awareness helper – clearly visible in neon Lila vests with “Awareness Team” written on them. They patrol the festival grounds for the entire evening. More Information HERE.

FAQs

Can I go to ESF if I am under 18 years old?

No. However, you can realise your free entry to ESF in the year after you turn 18.

I studied at an other university, but it is my first semester at ETH. Can I use enter for CHF 5.-?

No. Reduced entry is only for Erstis with LEGI 25-xxx-xxx (and the special case of exactly =18yo with older LEGIs). Valid for both Bachelor and Master Erstis.

I study at the University of Zurich, does the ETH-student price apply to me?

No. The ETH student price is only for ETH students in combination with their LEGI, you have to buy an external ticket.

I have a different question or want to help organise next years ESF, who do I contact?
