Seasonal Winter Cuisine

For starters, there were small seasonal appetisers and a warming parsnip cream soup. The choice for the main course included pumpkin gnocchi, sea bream with oven-roasted beetroot and pilaf rice, or beef shoulder with carrots and potatoes. Sweet favourites from our in-house patisserie rounded off the lunch.

Research award for groundbreaking findings

As a special highlight, in 2023, the first research prize of the Swiss Multiple Sclerosis Society was awarded. The prize is endowed with CHF 100'000 and honors a researcher who has made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of MS. With this prize, the MS Society makes a strong statement in support of Multiple Sclerosis research.
