Overview

Public Eye on Science is a Swiss-registered association (Verein) and trademarked platform that presents itself with the slogan "Public Eye on Science macht Wissenschaft transparent" (Public Eye on Science makes science transparent). It operates a website at publiceyeonscience.ch and organizes public events, filmed talks and panel discussions, which it publishes online. Its content is dominated by speakers who were prominent in Swiss and German-language debates around COVID-19 measures, vaccination and related public-health policy, including physicians, lawyers, economists, journalists and activists. The organization is structured as an association with a board (Vorstand) listed on its "über uns" page. The board includes Urs Hans as president, Martin Schmid as treasurer and membership administrator, Nadia Negro as secretary, and Jürgen Schädler, Markus Muntwyler and Regula Ineichen as members responsible for organization and advice. Board members are based in various Swiss cantons and in Triesenberg, Liechtenstein. The site also references events of a partner association from Liechtenstein. Public Eye on Science's public output consists largely of filmed speeches and podium discussions. Named speakers on its homepage include Urs Hans, former prosecutor Jürg Vollenweider, lawyer Philipp Kruse, Christian Oesch, health economist Prof. Dr. Konstantin Beck, engineer Sabine Stebel, psychiatrist Dr. med. FMH Regina Möckli, physician Ralf Tillenburg, activist Katharina König, nutritionist Nadia Negro, psychoneuroimmunologist Prof. Dr. Christian Schubert, general practitioner Christian Pfeffer, and a panel moderated by Dr. Philipp Gut. Other listed contributors include immunologist and toxicologist Prof. Dr. Stefan Hockerts, physician and Pro Schweiz president Dr. Stephan Rietiker, data analyst Tom Lausen, physician and author Dr. Heiko Schöning, science philosopher Prof. Dr. Michael Esfeld, farmer Laura Grazioli, emeritus auxiliary bishop of Chur Marian Eleganti, finance scholar Prof. Dr. Stefan Homburg, marketing specialist Marcus Riva, journalist Dr. Philipp Gut, editor Reinhard Koradi, and former German Bundestag member Dr. Diether Dehm. The platform's framing is explicitly critical of mainstream scientific and public-health institutions, presenting itself as an alternative venue for voices it says are excluded or suppressed. Its content has included calls such as "Sanktionen gegen Jacques Baud aufheben" (lift sanctions against Jacques Baud) and appearances by figures associated with the Swiss "massnahmenkritisch" (measures-critical) movement. The site carries a copyright notice dated 2021 and the trademark symbol ™, indicating the name is claimed as a trademark. Public Eye on Science is not to be confused with the Swiss NGO Public Eye (formerly Berne Declaration), which is a separate organization focused on corporate accountability and human rights.

History

Public Eye on Science appears as a Swiss-registered association and trademarked platform whose public presence is documented from around 2021, the year shown in the copyright notice on its website. It describes its mission with the slogan "Public Eye on Science macht Wissenschaft transparent" and positions itself as a venue for scientific and public-health topics that it argues are not adequately covered by mainstream institutions. Its activity centers on organizing public events, rallies and podium discussions, which are filmed and published on its website. The homepage lists a large roster of speakers and contributors, many of whom became known in German-speaking countries during the COVID-19 pandemic period for questioning official measures, vaccination campaigns or the scientific consensus. These include physicians such as Dr. Stephan Rietiker (also president of Pro Schweiz), Dr. Heiko Schöning, Dr. Regina Möckli and Christian Pfeffer; lawyers such as Philipp Kruse and former prosecutor Jürg Vollenweider; economists such as Prof. Dr. Konstantin Beck and Prof. Dr. Stefan Homburg; journalists such as Dr. Philipp Gut and Reinhard Koradi; and public figures such as emeritus auxiliary bishop Marian Eleganti and former Bundestag member Dr. Diether Dehm. The site also features a call to lift sanctions against Jacques Baud. The organization is structured as an association with a board listed on its "über uns" page. Urs Hans serves as president; he is described as a father of four, an early organic farmer, and a former member of the Zurich cantonal parliament for the Green Party, living in Neubrunn. Martin Schmid is treasurer and membership administrator, described as managing director and owner of Generation Carbon GmbH, an expert in resource efficiency, pyrolysis and biochar, living in the Basel region. Nadia Negro is secretary, a nutrition therapist and mother of two living in Aargau. Jürgen Schädler handles organization and advice, is a father of two, a property manager and event organizer living in Triesenberg, Liechtenstein. Markus Muntwyler, an electrical engineer and owner of an electrical installation company and trade school teacher, and Regula Ineichen also serve on the board for organization and advice. The site references events of a partner association from Liechtenstein. The platform's content and speaker list place it within the Swiss and broader German-language "massnahmenkritisch" (measures-critical) milieu that emerged or gained visibility during the COVID-19 pandemic. It presents itself as an alternative source of scientific information, though its framing and speaker selection have been associated with skepticism toward official public-health guidance. The website carries a 2021 copyright notice and the trademark symbol ™, indicating the name is claimed as a trademark. Public Eye on Science is distinct from the Swiss NGO Public Eye (formerly Berne Declaration), which focuses on corporate accountability and human rights and is not connected to this platform.
