Could we soon be working alongside robots' Treffpunkt Science City will focus on this and other questions at the Experience Sundays dedicated to "Working in the World 4.0". The latest edition of the ETH Zurich event series will run between 12 March and 2 April 2017, and once again offers a varied programme for visitors. From lectures on experiments to panel discussions - at the Hönggerberg campus, children, teenagers and adults can quench their thirst for knowledge, get involved and talk with researchers and industry experts. Working in 4.0 - what will change? . On 12 March, Gisela Hürlimann, ETH lecturer on the history of technology, will deliver the first lecture and offer a useful overview of the topic. She will explain why we are now in the fourth industrial revolution, what the previous three revolutions were and what influence they had on people and their work. Occupational and organisational psychologist Theo Wehner asserts that, today, we require only half the workforce to achieve the same productivity as 30 years ago.
