Mission & Values
Phänomena On Tour and Spot inspire people of all ages to discover how the world works and how we can shape its future. Our mission is to spark curiosity, enable active participation, and connect citizens with the major social and scientific questions of our time.
Our values guide every exhibition: science should be understandable for everyone, innovations should inspire, design should excite and participation should be possible, regardless of age or prior knowledge. These values make Phänomena on Tour a sustainable, flexible concept, close to the population and firmly rooted in the vision of Switzerland as a country of education.
Despite the playful approach (experience, wonder, understand), all topics, stations and exhibits are developed and verified by our scientific partners.
Sustainability and circular economy are core themes of Phänomena On Tour. The selected construction materials contain minimal embodied energy and are kept within the cycle whenever possible (reuse, upcycling, sustainable disposal).
Phänomena On Tour aims to make the experience accessible to everyone — regardless of financial means. People with visual, hearing or mobility impairments can enjoy the experience barrier-free. The digital environment is fully accessible as well.
In developing its experience stations, Phänomena collaborates with leading Swiss research institutes, universities of applied sciences, universities, technical institutes and start-ups. The latest findings and innovations are given a visible platform within Phänomena On Tour.
Phänomena On Tour attracts visitors from across Switzerland and neighbouring countries. Its iconic main and auxiliary structures reflect high aesthetic and design standards — visible in every station and exhibit.
Phänomena On Tour is a reliable partner. It communicates actively and transparently.
