#4 Science City
Innovation and research are just as much a part of Bern as Parliament Square and the Bern Animal Park, BearPark. The federal city is an important business and research location and an avid promoter of progress. Over 170 research institutes with over 18,000 students (57 percent of which are women, by the way), specialized in the fields of sustainability, health and medicine, matter and the universe, cross-cultural knowledge as well as politics and administration, can be found in the lively university city. The institutes, their work and their know-how are well-known way beyond Switzerland, and personalities such as Albrecht von Haller, Emil Theodor Kocher and Albert Einstein studied at the University of Bern and came up with “relatively” good ideas. The well-established network of the University of Bern, the city of Bern and Bern Welcome allows for the perfect conditions for scientific conferences.
