Get Connected was founded in the year 2012 by the LGBTQIA+Club Unigay at the Univeristy of St.Gallen (HSG). It was supported by Network and Wybernet, two queer senior leadership associations. In 2016 the ETH Zurich and the UZH joined the team. We are eager to constantly strengthen and expand our network. If you are interested to become part of Get Connected as a diversity driven company or as an LGBTQIA+-organisation, contact us directly via e-mail!
