Women who make Switzerland move
Frauen. Bahn. Zukunft.
Women who make Switzerland move ist das erste Format von Frauen für Frauen.
Du tauchst ein in die faszinierende Welt der Bahn- und Mobilitätsbranche – aus ganz unterschiedlichen Perspektiven – von Bahnverständnis bis Systemgrundlagen. Dich erwarten spannende Referate und persönliche Einblicke von Frauen, die bereits in der Bahnbranche tätig sind. Der Event wird hauptsächlich auf Englisch durchgeführt.
Since the event will be held primarily in English, the following information is provided in English.
"Discover two fascinating worlds at BFH Biel: one where experts test a battery’s state of health to understand how it ages and performs over time, making complex energy storage both safer and easier to grasp even for newcomers.
You’ll also see how BFH leads robotic battery dismantling and recycling efforts, including the CircuBAT project, where robots safely take apart old batteries to recover valuable materials—a captivating and approachable glimpse into the future of circular mobility during the “Women Who Make Switzerland Move” event."
