Do I need to bring an adapter?
For electricity: Switzerland uses mostly type J (3-pin) outlets. We kindly ask you to ensure that your chargers work with this outlet. If not, please make sure to bring an adaptor.
To connect one's personal computer to the owl (for virtual meetings) or screens: We highly recommend bringing an adaptor if your laptop does not have HDMI and USB-C connection.
