Traverse is an SDC platform for controversial debate on themes related to international cooperation. High-profile personalities from the scientific, political,
economic, societal, and cultural sectors are invited to discuss current issues from a wide range of viewpoints. Traverse is an opportunity to air differences of opinion and to get involved in
critical and self-critical debate. Participants include staff of the SDC and other Federal offices, as well as representatives from the scientific, cultural, political, and economic communities,
NGOs, and the interested public.
