Novartis Pavillon & Campus – a unique destination during Eurovision and beyond

During Eurovision week, the Novartis Campus and the Novartis Pavillon will become a cultural hub, offering free public access, engaging experiences, and inspiring moments that connect science, music, and society.

The exhibition and event center is a publicly accessible place for encounter and represents our relationship with society in Switzerland, the population in Basel, and our direct neighbors.
