Room application for events

Important principles and guidelines

Premises can be requested by organizational units of UZH, the cantons, associated institutes, Representative Bodies, universities affiliated with swissuniversities, and student organizations recognized by UZH.
All other events require patronage (see below for further information).

Important information regarding application processing times

Depending on their complexity/subject matter, applications may take several working days to review/process.
Short-notice applications (up to 3 days) cannot be guaranteed.
We are very busy in the period before and at the beginning of the semester, which can lead to delays in processing and approving applications.
Confirmations may be delayed for events that are more than 6 months in the future.
If the title/topic changes, the approval process starts again from the beginning.

Due to regulatory requirements regarding escape routes, roll-up banners and any other type of structures are not permitted in the aisles or in the entrance areas of the event rooms.
If you have any questions, please contact the event service team.

Patronage for events outside of teaching
Third-party events necessarily require a patronage by an internal UZH unit. For events organized by student associations a patronage can be requested as well.

Security at events
Security requirements may be necessary for certain events by prior arrangement. As a rule, the costs are borne by the organizers. Reglement über die Benutzung von Räumen und Aussenflächen der Universität Zürich, §13. Abs.1 (PDF, 162 KB)

Film screenings
Public screenings of films—including those that are available free of charge on the internet—require the consent of the copyright holder or a license. Please submit this by email to the Room Allocation Services (with a corresponding note in the comments section when booking the room).

A room reservation request is also possible directly via the calendar view. Please note that the occupancy view for past periods may differ from the actual occupancy due to various subsequent changes and therefore does not provide a binding statement about occupancy.
