The ISTF 2026 is a politically independent think-tank for young adults! Five exciting days students and experts from all over the world develop innovative solutions for tomorrow's challenges and build a valuable network.
Our contribution was a live graphic recording – an overview image drawn with felt-tip pens on a large drawing wall – that captured a key visual for each six-minute pitch.

From 17 to 21 February 2026, 70 young award winners from scientific competitions in Switzerland, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas gathered at the 15th International Swiss Talent Forum to seek solutions to the dilemmas of our time.
The forum, organized by the Swiss Youth in Science Foundation, challenged participants to develop sustainable future proposals to protect our vital resource—water.
Supported by experts from industry and research, the young participants tackled this challenge as part of a think tank in Murten, in the canton of Fribourg.
Participants worked on solutions for one of the most pressing challenges of our time: protecting our vital resource: water. This was the visual we used in the header of the live-illustration.
