IMMERSIVE BY DESIGN
IMMERSE brings XR and AI into classrooms and labs — making learning visual, interactive, and hands-on, bridging theory and practice across disciplines
SUSTAINABLE & SCALABLE INNOVATION
Reusable infrastructure, modular digital formats, and shared resources make education innovation efficient, future-proof, and ready to grow.
INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION
From medicine to teacher education and vocational training, IMMERSE connects academia, industry, and practice partners to co-create impactful content.
POWERED BY ZURICH’S INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM
Built on the strengths of UZH, PHZH, and ZHAW, with support from DIZH and partners like Siemens and Careum, IMMERSE leverages a thriving innovation hub.
TRANSLATION INTO PRACTICE
Ideas are tested, validated, and implemented through structured pipelines, ensuring real-world impact.
INCLUSIVE AND TRANSPARENT
Events, showrooms, and immersive lectures make scientific knowledge and education innovation visible, tangible, and accessible to the public.
IMMERSE links academia, industry and education. The IMMERSE Lab and Sandbox enable co-creation and prototyping, while the NEXUS coordinates stakeholders, guiding projects from pilot phase to sustainable implementation.
