About
Scandinavian Forum Switzerland (formerly SNS Schweiz -Liechtenstein) is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit organisation in Zurich, Switzerland.
Our mission is to spread ideas and provide a platform for discussing social, political, environmental, and economic issues. Focusing on the Scandinavian region and Switzerland as case studies, we aim to identify commonalities and differences, inspire policy development and foster collaboration for the common good
Our History
SFS was founded in 1982 as SNS Schweiz-Liechtenstein, part of SNS – Studiefrämjandet för Näringsliv och samhälle, an independent non-profit organisation in Sweden founded in 1948 with the vision to create a platform for business, administration, academia and politics.
In 2020, when SFS became independent, we decided to broaden the focus area to include the neighbouring Scandinavian countries and our host country Switzerland.
We organise regular seminars with invited experts, organise excursions and cultural events, and organise gatherings for our members. See past events here.
