World Water Connection - International Water Symposium

Description

The goal of the Gotthard-Connects association is to build bridges between science and life in order to raise public awareness of the latest scientific discoveries.
There are many astonishing discoveries around water that are not yet part of general knowledge.
It's time to address this. Discover the secrets of water by observing how a water bridge is freely suspended in the air or learn that there is a fourth phase of water called "structured water." But the most interesting discovery is that there is evidence that water contains information and can even communicate through the ice phase. We are very pleased to welcome Cornelia Boesch from SRF as our presenter. The first part of the day, the official opening of our international symposium, will be introduced by the former Swiss Federal Councillor, Ueli Maurer. His passion for the Gothard region and our water is inspiring and sets the tone for the day. We will have the honor of welcoming Professor Gerald Pollack, a world-renowned cell biologist from the University of Washington (USA). He will take us on a journey through the fourth phase of water, which holds many answers to questions that have yet to be answered. From the Netherlands, we will host Dr. Elmar Fuchs, a graduate engineer, who will show us how the suspended hydraulic bridge works and what it means for our understanding of water. From New Zealand, Veda Austin will share her astonishing discoveries around online crystal photography. With over 20,000 photos, she proves that water is much more than we think. Water is anything but ordinary. It is its peculiarities that allow life to exist on Earth. Rolf Kipfer, professor of water resources and drinking water at the Water Research Institute (Eawag) and ETH Zurich, will reveal the unique character of water as a life elixir. With exhibitors from Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, the event promises to be a great success. Save the date: November 22, 2025, in Andermatt - The water castle of Europe - Where else?
