About Us
Bringing UZH students together, one lunch at a time.
We are a team of six UZH students who believe that university life is about more than lectures, exams and deadlines. It's also about meeting new people, sharing different perspectives and building meaningful connections.
That's why we created lunChat. We make it easy to meet fellow students across disciplines and beyond your usual circle, simply by sharing lunch!
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a more connected UZH community where meeting new people feels easy and natural. We want to bring students from different study programs together, encourage meaningful conversations and turn simple lunch breaks into lasting friendships.
Founders
“As an international student, I know how challenging it can be to meet new people in a new environment. I wanted to create LunChat to make those first connections easier.”
- Beatriz
“Having completed my Bachelor’s elsewhere and not being from Zurich, I know how hard it can be to make new friends. That’s why I wanted to start LunChat: I believe everyone deserves to connect and feel part of university life.”
- Denissa
"University brings together so many interesting people, yet we often stay within our own circles. That's what I hope to change with lunChat."
-Joëlle
“Having moved to Zürich for my Master’s, I quickly realized that making new connections isn’t always easy. I love the idea that something as simple as lunch can bring together people whose paths might otherwise never cross and turn complete strangers into friends.”
- Elisabeth
