Reatch was founded by students and young professionals from all across Switzerland with the purpose of creating greater awareness for science and technology related issues. We picture ourselves as mediators on the battlefield between science, politics, and society. Through the pursuit of objective debate supplemented by independent research, we hope to lay the foundations for open discourse between politicians, journalists, and the general public. reatch conducts its work with the belief in freedom in research and innovation, acknowledging that the results of scientific and technological progress must be discussed within the context of a societal framework. With balanced and unbiased views we hope to create a more informed public opinion by bringing science and technology into the public’s limelight.
