On 24 October 2025, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Jacobs Center at the Jacobs Foundation in Zurich. The event opened with a warm welcome from Prof. Dr. Moritz Daum, followed by an inspiring keynote address by Prof. Dr. Gary Pollock.
 
In the afternoon, young researchers from our team — Michelle Loher, Sofia Scatolin, Alberth Thieme, Tabea Braun, and Miriam Löffler — gave engaging short presentations showcasing their current work. 
Dr. Doris Hanappi then shared insights from Swiss EdLab, leading into a lively roundtable discussion on how research can inform policy and practice.
The discussion featured Dr. Sibille Bayard (Zurich Department of Education), Dr. Andreas Edel (Population Europe), Prof. Dr. Nora Raschle (JC), Prof. Dr. Ulf Zölitz (JC) and was led by Prof. Dr. Moritz Daum (JC).
 
The symposium concluded with a delightful flying dinner, offering an excellent opportunity to reflect on a decade of research, exchange, and collaboration.
