During the Junior Session at the Sleep & Health Zurich Symposium 2025, junior researchers in the field of sleep research had the opportunity to present their work. The best contribution was awarded the Sleep & Health Zurich Junior Award. We warmly congratulate Inês Dias on winning first place for her contribution titled "Mouse closed-loop auditory stimulation rescues Alzheimer’s disease neuropathological and phenotypic hallmarks".

The Sleep & Health Zurich Symposium 2025 successfully took place on May 8th at the Kunsthaus Zürich, featuring five established experts from various fields of sleep research and five junior researchers. We would like to express our gratitude to all the speakers for their active engagement and for providing participants with a current and interesting insight into the latest research developments. We would also like to thank all the participants for their interest. 

The accreditation of the Competence Center Sleep & Health Zurich (SHZ) expired at the end of 2024. Following careful consideration, the decision has been taken not to extend the accreditation and to transfer the SHZ to a new format. The SHZ will be merged with SleepLoop, a former Hochschulmedizin Zürich flagship, into a new network under the umbrella of Universitäre Medizin Zürich UMZH. Further information on the new format will be published on this website in due course.

The official close of the SHZ era was declared at the SHZ Symposium 2025. We would like to thank all those who have been involved in and contributed to the SHZ. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the very last steering committee of the SHZ, Dr. Angelina Maric, Dr. Konstantinos Kompotis, and PD Dr. med. Katrin Rauen, Dr. med. Sarah Schiebler, Dr. med. Simon Schreiner, for their voluntary work.

The core activities of the SHZ, the SHZ symposium and the SHZ seminar will continue in the transition phase.
