Introduction

The idea behind EXECAL Meetings is to offer regular events designed to promote networking and convivial relationships within EXECAL network.


These are meetings between EXECAL members and ECAL students, which take place in principle once a year from 2020.


Guests are selected among ECAL Alumni. To add to the interest of these meetings, guests must be able to offer attractive profiles and careers.

Switzerland’s next-generation passport series was issued late October 2022 by the Federal Office of Police (fedpol). Since 1959, the distinctive red passport is considered as one of the most sophisticated and secure travel documents. Commissioned with the new design, the Geneva-based creative studio RETINAA wanted to honour the tradition of innovation in Swiss graphic arts. In close collaboration with a group of experts led by fedpol, and in cooperation with Thales and Orell Füssli, a bold design was developed that meets the high standards of Swiss security documents and aims to tell a story.
