Welcome!

The Cortona week stands for an transdisciplinary residential week and Conference. Cortona is a small Etruscan town in Tuscany, situated on a hill not far from Siena, Assisi, and Perugia. Since 1985, doctoral students, university professors and interested members of the ETH Zurich as well as from other academic institutions from Switzerland and all over the world have been meeting here with philosophers, artists, psychologists, monks, musicians and others - a colourful gathering of about 150 participants who spend a week together, attending lectures and participating in "experimental" workshops, all of which focus on the topic "Natural Sciences and the Wholeness of Life."
