About VBG Zurich

VBG Zurich is a Christian student group at the University of Zurich and ETH. The group was founded in 1949 with the intention to promote an authentic and thought through Christian lifestyle. VBG is an interdenominational group, which desires to address pressing questions, as well as to discuss ways to live out the Christain faith in everyday life.

iCafé is the english speaking part of VBG Zurich. During the semester it takes place every Thursday from 7.30 to 10.00 pm. We meet at Zeltweg 18 in Zürich (first floor).

Come and have a time of fun and conversation, make new friends and explore questions relevant to life in Switzerland from a Christian perspective! We offer cultural events, movie and discussion groups, bible study groups, and a lot of funny and crazy moments!!

I moved to Zurich fairly recently to study medical engineering and it's been great so far. I like traveling and being in nature. I also enjoy photography, music, and interesting conversations. See you at iCafe!

I am Italian and I like to bring a bit of Italy everywhere I go. I love cooking and learning from other cultures, mixing all the ingredients to get unique dishes. In my daily life, I am a PhD student in Neuroscience applying to social science and medicine, I am fascinated by our mysterious brain and its functioning. Beside cooking, I enjoy spending time with friends, swimming and reading books.
