The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich , or ETH Zurich for short , is a technical and scientific university in Zurich . It was founded in 1855 as the Eidgenössisches Polytechnikum (which is why it is popularly known as the Poly ). Your buildings are spread across two locations, one in the center of Zurich and the Hönggerberg location outside the city center. It is one of the most renowned universities in the world and regularly takes top positions in university rankings.

There are 16 departments. Further studies for a doctorate in technical, mathematical and scientific fields are numerous. Around 20,000 students and doctoral students are currently enrolled. ETH Zurich employs over 11,000 people. Of the 531 professorships, including 94 assistant professorships, 76 (14%) are held by women. Associated with the ETH are 21 Nobel Prize winners . ETH President has been Joël Mesot since 2019 and Sarah M. Springman is the Rector .

ETH Zurich is part of the ETH Domain , which includes the Technical University in Zurich and the one in Lausanne as well as four other research institutes - Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Federal Research Institute for Forests, Snow and Landscape (WSL), Federal Materials Testing and Research Institute (Empa) and Federal Institute for Water Supply, Wastewater Treatment and Water Protection (Eawag). ETH Zurich has had a location in Singapore since 2010. The Center for Global Environmental Sustainability SEC was founded on the joint initiative of ETH Zurich and Singapore's National Research Foundation NRF. This interdisciplinary research institute deals with the sustainable development of cities and their infrastructures in its two programs Future Cities Laboratory FCL and Future Resilient Systems FRS.

history

Initial phase

Physics building of the ETH, built from 1887 to 1890 at Gloriastrasse 35 in the middle of vineyards. Canceled in 1974.

ETH Hönggerberg

After a long debate in the still young federal state of Switzerland as to whether a national, federal university should also be founded in addition to the cantonal universities , the law on the federal polytechnic school in connection with a school for higher studies was passed on February 7, 1854 , political and humanistic sciences , and the ETH started operations as a federal polytechnic school on October 16, 1855 in Zurich. However, the offer was limited to purely technical subjects, as the Catholic, rural cantons, which had their own universities, wanted to prevent an intellectual monopoly of the Protestant, urban cantons.

The new educational facility was to have its own building, and so the city and canton of Zurich announced an architecture competition in which, among others, the two professors Ferdinand Stadler and Gottfried Semper from Zurich and the Baden architect Joseph Caspar Jeuch took part. The German architect Semper, who u. a. also designed the Dresden Opera named after him , finally won the competition and was allowed to erect the building between 1858 and 1864 according to his plans. The already existing Zurich University was initially housed in the south wing of the building .

The polytechnic grew rapidly and a new building was added every decade: the chemistry building on Universitätsstrasse in 1886, and the physics building on Gloriastrasse 35 in the middle of vineyards from 1887 to 1890 (demolished in 1974). More buildings were in 1874 for forestry been created, just north of the main building followed in 1900, the machinery - Laboratory and in 1915 the natural science.

As a result of the so-called segregation agreements in 1905 and 1908, the buildings of Zurich University and the ETH were separated from one another in 1914. After the university moved out, the leading architect of historicism in Zurich, Gustav Gull , rebuilt Semper's main building between 1915 and 1925 and radically changed the interior and exterior of the building. Only the south facade facing the city remained unchanged. Towards Rämistrasse , the shape of the building was supplemented by a new façade and today's characteristic dome.

In 1908 the Polytechnic acquired the right to award doctorates. In 1911, after a lengthy reform debate, it was renamed the Federal Institute of Technology ; Informally, the name "Poly" remained in use until the 1970s. At the same time, the curriculum was relaxed somewhat and the students were given more freedom.

Location Hönggerberg and Science City

As early as the 1950s it became clear that the ETH center had too little space available. Even then, numerous buildings in the neighborhood had to be bought and apartments converted for institutes (some of these are still used today by the ETH). However, this strategy could not satisfy the needs of the university, so that the ETH decided in 1957 to look for a second location in Zurich. Areas on the Allmend Fluntern, on the Irchel, on the Adlisberg and on the Hönggerberg were up for discussion . Only the latter turned out to be suitable, and planning for the Hönggerberg began in 1959. The renowned architect Albert Heinrich Steiner was won over for the project. Additional buildings have been built there since the 1960s, and the Science City expansion project has been underway since the beginning of the 21st century, with the aim of building student apartments on the Hönggerberg campus, among other things.

The implementation took place quickly, and at the end of the 1970s the first phase was completed with the buildings for physics (HPH and HPP), molecular biology (HPM, HPK ...) and the infrastructure. No longer under the direction of Steiner and sometimes even against his will, the construction of the Building for Architecture and Building Sciences (HIL) under the architects Max Ziegler and Erik Lanter took place in a second expansion phase (1972–1976) . The third expansion phase was initiated in 1988 with the invitation to tender for the ideas competition for the structure plan; The competition was won by the architect Ben Huser in 1989. After the architects Mario Campi and Franco Pesina won the tender for the third stage (1996-2004) in 1990, Steiner even fought the project in federal court rejected. This cleared the way for the chemistry and materials department as well as the pharmacy and microbiology (HCI) building.

The Hönggerberg location is now home to the following departments: Architecture ( D-ARCH ), Civil Engineering , Environment and Geomatics ( D-BAUG ), Chemistry and Applied Biosciences ( D-CHAB ), Physics ( D-PHYS ), Biology ( D-BIOL ) and Materials Science ( D-MATL ). It can be reached with the VBZ bus lines 37, 80 and 69. In addition, ETH's own shuttle buses run on two lines between the Hönggerberg campus and the main building or Zurich main station . The travel time with the shuttle buses reserved for ETH members is around 15 minutes on both lines. With the regular connections, the travel time from the main train station to ETH Hönggerberg is around 25 minutes. These bus connections have long been a capacity bottleneck, which has already led to complaints from students. Another variant for direct access to Science City via an S-Bahn line and a tunnel station below Science City was proposed in autumn 2014. The supplementary railway line, 4.25 km long, begins branching at the Letziviadukt and leads as a 3.5 km long tunnel under the Käferberg to the Aspholz area, where it joins the line to Regensdorf. This would reduce the travel time from Zurich main station to the ETH Hönggerberg from today's 25 minutes to 6 minutes.

  • The HPM building on the Hönggerberg (biology)

  • The HPH building on the Hönggerberg (physics lecture halls)

  • The campus on the Hönggerberg

  • The HCI building on the Hönggerberg (chemistry)

  • The HIL building on the Hönggerberg (teaching building for civil engineering)

The Hönggerberg location is currently being expanded as part of the Science City project . The idea is to create a university campus where research and living take place on the same area, but which is also open to the public. In 2008 the Information Science Lab and the Sport Center were completed, which opened in May 2009. Student apartments were built from 2013 to 2016. These comprise a total of 63 shared apartments with 485 rooms and twelve studios. At the same time, the Lucerne Pension Fund in cooperation with Losinger Marazzi AG implemented the livingscience project. This provides 404 student rooms in one, two or more shared apartments. A drawing room, common rooms that can be used by students, a day nursery and additional rooms for student accommodation were also planned. There are also plans to build a life science platform as well as an academic guest house as an addition to the previously 14-story physical tower. The Information Science Lab was supported with 23 million francs by the entrepreneur Branco Weiss , and the Zürcher Kantonalbank contributed 12 million francs to the sports center . In December 2006, the Zurich City Council almost unanimously approved the master plan for the further structural development steps of Science City. The special building regulations came into force in autumn 2007. According to the master plan for Campus Hönggerberg 2040 published in May 2018, two new high-rise buildings are to be built.

In terms of energy policy, Science City has set itself the goal of reducing its CO 2 emissions in accordance with the guidelines of the Kyoto Protocol , in order to implement the idea of ​​the 2000 watt society in Science City .

organization

More than 800 dissertations are created annually and over 2000 (master) diplomas are awarded.

The ETH started with 68 students in 1855, since then the number has increased steadily. The number of female students has risen sharply since 1968 and amounted to 31.8% in the fall semester of 2017. There are currently 23 Bachelor programs with 9200 students, 43 Master’s programs with 6100 students, and 4100 doctoral students are enrolled.

In July 2015, Rector Springman announced that the ETH's capacity to accommodate 20,000 students would have to limit the increase in the current number of 18,600 students. According to Springman, there are enough good Swiss students that the university does not have to rely on foreign students.

principal

The school management organizes the management, structure and organizational matters of ETH Zurich.

Departments

There are 16 departments; the most recent, Health Sciences and Technology ( D-HEST ), was established in 2012 by merging the movement sciences , biomechanics, food sciences and neurosciences. Since autumn 2017, the department has also offered a bachelor's degree in human medicine.

For the years 2019-2025, all departments and centers have committed to organs caused by air travel caused by employees CO 2 - emissions to reduce by an average of 11 percent.

This is used for research into the history of science and technology. It contains the bequests and autographs of many well-known scientists and Nobel Prize winners .

University groups and commissions

The following four university groups form an equal body of elected representatives in the university assembly:

  • Conference of the teaching staff (KdL)
  • Academic association for mid-level faculty at ETH Zurich (AVETH)
  • Association of Students at ETH ( VSETH )
  • Personnel Committee (PeKo)

Study conditions

Historical development of the number of students

Admission is granted with a Swiss Matura without any further conditions. Foreign students have to take an entrance exam depending on their school leaving certificate or they are accepted directly.

The semester fees are 580  francs and an additional 64 francs semester fees per semester. This does not include various additional expenses such as books, internships, excursions, etc. Scholarships are available for financially disadvantaged students.

Course offer

Mainly scientific and technical subjects are taught at ETH. ETH does not have any minor subjects, but courses in the humanities, social and political sciences (GESS) are compulsory in all courses.

The Academic Sports Association Zurich (ASVZ) offers a wide range of university sports with over 120 sports, from aerobics to climbing courses to yoga. The most important sporting events are the SOLA relay , which is carried out over a distance of 120 kilometers in the greater Zurich area, and the annual UNI-POLY rowing regatta between the ETH and the University of Zurich, which was held for the 67th time in 2019. ETH leads the men with 39 to 26. The race had to be stopped twice.

The ETH Zurich is also home to the academic part of the Swiss Armed Forces Military Academy . As part of their training, prospective career officers attend the specially designed political science course.

Special facilities

  • The ETH also includes the ETH Library in Zurich , which, with almost 7 million objects, is also the largest library in Switzerland. The Collegium Helveticum is a joint institution of the University and ETH Zurich and the Zurich University of the Arts. Among other things, it houses the Ludwik Fleck Center , which houses the scientific legacy of the Polish scientist. In addition, there is a graphic collection at the ETH, which holds exhibitions on various topics several times a year.
  • The CSCS ( Swiss National Supercomputing Center ) is also located at the ETH , which supports a wide range of application areas and also receives orders from CERN .
  • The ETH Zurich Foundation is intended to build bridges between ETH Zurich and companies, foundations, organizations and private individuals and to advance ETH Zurich in its strategic efforts and thus secure its leading position worldwide. As a leading technology foundation in Switzerland, the ETH Zurich Foundation specifically supports ETH Zurich in achieving its goals in teaching and research. The partners have access to collaborations and programs with the university.
  • ETH juniors is a student company at ETH Zurich that was founded in 1997. On the one hand, ETH juniors provides project consulting with students, and on the other hand, the organization arranges contacts between companies and students (as part of the campus interview ). The company sees itself as a bridge between the university and everyday work. ETH juniors is legally and financially independent of ETH Zurich and is operated exclusively by students.

Student organizations

The students are organized in the Association of Students at ETH (VSETH). This association under Swiss law represents students inside and outside the university by means of a framework agreement and also unites subject-specific professional associations that offer a wide range of events and services for students.

The doctoral students are organized in the Association of Assistants, Research Assistants and Doctoral Students at ETH Zurich (AVETH).

University networks

ETH works in various associations with other universities. She is a founding member of the IDEA League , a strategic alliance of five leading technical universities in Europe. She is also a member of the Top Industrial Managers for Europe network , an association of 51 technically oriented universities that promotes exchange programs and enables students to obtain double degrees. In 2006 she also founded the International Alliance of Research Universities with nine leading research universities worldwide .

Funding from the EU

The ETH has acquired 84 ERC grants for basic research at the highest level, 586 million francs from the 7th research framework program of the EU flowed to the research location Zurich. After the Swiss government did not sign the already negotiated agreement on the free movement of persons with Croatia in the implementation of the popular initiative “Against mass immigration” , the EU suspended negotiations on the 8th Research Framework Program . Former ETH President Ralph Eichler said that if Switzerland could no longer take part in the EU research framework programs, it would be “like if FC Basel could no longer play in the Champions League”.
