ETH Didactic Fellows at the ETH Learning and Teaching Fair
The ETH Didactic Fellows participated in the ETH Learning and Teaching Fair. Acting as mentors and resource persons for professors across ETH Zürich, our goal is to shift the educational focus from passive knowledge consumption to active co-creation between teachers and learners, through dialogue, interactivity, and creating a safe space for students.
ETH Zürich at MRS Spring Meeting 2026 in Hawaii
Attending the 2026 MRS Spring Meeting in Hawaii was an incredible experience, combining great science with breathtaking scenery. Our institute had a strong showing with contributions every single day of the conference, presenting results across a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary research: from quantum dots and phase change nanoparticles to intermetallics and next-generation battery materials.
A Visit to IMEC: Frontier of Microchip Innovation
We had the opportunity to visit imec in Belgium, one of the world's most unique research institutions. Hosting the most advanced research cleanroom globally, imec oversees end-to-end value chain integration in semiconductor technology and takes an undisputed lead in prototyping. As they build the NanoIC pilot line, it becomes clear where the future of European microchip technology will materialize.
KSE and ETH Zürich Celebrate First Graduates of Joint Master's Programme in Electrical Engineering
There is nothing quite like watching a bold idea thrive against all odds. This week, we hosted a delegation from the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) and celebrated the first cohort of graduates from the ETH-empowered KSE Master's programme in electrical engineering. It is highly rewarding to witness how a single programme is transforming into a whole ecosystem - new laboratories, research initiatives, and bachelor-level offerings. We are proud to have planted this seed in Ukraine in 2024.
Lara, welcome back!
