Editorial profile

By students for the computer science community

Visionen is the official magazine of the Association of Computer Science Students at ETH Zurich. It has been published since the founding of VIS, with the first issue appearing on May 18, 1984.

The magazine is produced by a volunteer student team. Articles come from students, assistants, professors, and industry contributors, and are published in German or English.

The goal is a magazine that is more than a club newspaper: close to student life, open to new perspectives, and with room for technical topics, debate, and stories from daily life at D-INFK.
