In 2018, the Branco Weiss Lecture was introduced as part of the annual symposium. In this one-hour lecture, a number of Branco Weiss Fellows jointly present ongoing research, as well as current questions, methods and findings in a particular field of research to share ideas with a general academic audience at ETH Zurich.
Detlef Günther, Vice President of Research at ETH Zurich, said during his introduction to the first of these lectures that Branco Weiss was a man who could recharge your batteries – for free. In a way, the lectures named in his honor aim to follow this lead.
