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!
Simulating cloud conditions for more accurate climate models
Every cloud droplet starts as an invisible particle, but the precise process of its formation remains unclear. Mayur Sapkal has created an instrument to study this process and is using it to improve the accuracy of climate predictions.
ETH Zurich inaugurates campus in Germany
Approximately two years after signing a joint letter of intent with the Dieter Schwarz Foundation, ETH Zurich is inaugurating a new campus in Heilbronn, with numerous guests from politics, industry and academia in attendance.
A 3D scanner for electromagnetic fields
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method that uses a single ion to detect electromagnetic fields above a surface and to create a three-dimensional map of them. In the future, this approach can be used to improve chips for quantum computers and quantum sensors.
Alexander Mathys and Ferdinand von Meyenn, how can the protein hype be made more sustainable?
Proteins are often regarded as the key to good health and well-being. However, nutrition and food science experts Alexander Mathys and Ferdinand von Meyenn argue that an exclusive focus on protein is too narrow. They emphasise that the source of proteins and the composition of the overall diet are more critical factors influencing bodily health and the climate.
When new nuclear power plants are worth it in Switzerland
In order for new nuclear power plants to be competitive in the future, the government would have to support nuclear energy – alongside renewables – and bear a portion of the financial risks. In return, new nuclear power plants could reduce electricity imports during winter. These are the conclusions drawn by a new study from ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI).
