We’re happy to announce Swiss AI Safety Days 2026, on the weekend of 7-8 November 2026 at ETH Zurich. It’s the successor to the 2025 Zurich AI Safety Day, expanding from one day to a full weekend.
Last year’s edition brought together 200+ people from across Europe for talks, workshops, and an Org Fair with 20+ organizations in the field, including UK AISI, Apollo Research, FAR.AI, and Palisade Research. The feedback was strong from participants and org representatives alike: an average rating of 4.6/​5, and 80% of participants leaving with concrete next steps. This year we’re building on our learnings with:
More room for the networking and career conversations that people rated highest
A larger Org Fair aiming for 30+ organizations
An expanded and better-structured program across technical research, governance, field-building and career development
Crucially, more organizer capacity and longer planning timelines than in 2025
The event is for anyone working on or moving toward AI safety: researchers, engineers, students, policymakers, and people exploring how to contribute. Zurich’s strong technical talent pipeline and the concentration of major tech companies make it a strong candidate location to bring this community together.
Applications aren’t open yet, but you can save the date now and we’ll notify you the moment they are:
