Learning Together Conference: Switzerland and Ukraine at ETH Zürich
ETH Zürich hosts the Learning Together conference on June 10, 2026, bringing together Swiss and Ukrainian partners to explore growing collaboration across engineering education, friendshoring, and resilient technology development. Switzerland and Ukraine are already working on many levels, and the potential for even closer ties continues to expand.
Swiss Chemical Society Fall Meeting 2026
The Swiss Chemical Society (SCS) Fall Meeting takes place on August 27 and 28, 2026 at the University of Bern, vonRoll Campus. The premier event to expand your Swiss research network and connect with industry leaders. This year, our group is organizing the Materials Chemistry track. Submit your abstract for a talk or poster by May 31, 2026.
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!
We are excited to host Lara for a master thesis, starting today! The plans are ambitious, good luck for your experiments, Lara!
The far side of the Moon provides clues to a previous magnetic field
The question to whether the Moon ever possessed an internal magnetic field is a matter of debate. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have opted for a new method to show that a mechanism once existed on the Moon that is still active on Earth today.
Mystery surrounding the formation of asteroid Bennu solved
New sample analyses by researchers at ETH Zurich point to a surprising origin for the asteroid Bennu: rather than forming far out in the Solar System, Bennu's parent body probably emerged in a special transition zone near the water-ice line, where temperatures were cold enough for water to freeze, at a time when Jupiter itself was still growing.
Tiny OLED pixels can be manufactured like microchips
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a light-sensitive material from which they can produce tiny, coloured light-emitting pixels – potential building blocks for particularly small and sharp screens.
Clean sweep for cutting-edge research
From biotech and engineering to the latest work in physics – many scientific breakthroughs start life in the clean room. ETH researchers enjoy access to top-notch facilities in Basel and Zurich.
“Looking at the mountains from the bus makes my problems seem smaller”
Novaya Politra is studying landscape architecture at ETH Zurich. Despite a demanding workload, visits to devastated landscapes and bouts of homesickness, the Canadian student from a Bengali family draws inspiration and fresh perspectives from her surroundings.
