ETH formulates concrete goals for the coming years

(CONNECT) ETH has formulated its priorities and goals for the coming years. The starting points for this are the recently published Institutional Priorities 2025-2036 and the Development Plan 2025-2028.

For example, the aim is to improve the learning experience for students despite growing student numbers, according to a press release. The examination system and the academic calendar will be simplified and the workload for everyone involved will be "more balanced". In all of this, ETH also relies on the use of "state-of-the-art technical solutions and increased digitalization".

It wants to continue to offer researchers "excellent framework conditions" and express its leading role in basic research and applied sciences through state-of-the-art infrastructure and a sharpened profile of its activities. The fields of Environment & Resources, Health & Wellbeing and Responsible Digital Transformation are specifically promoted. Open science and ethical research practices are strengthened.

ETH also wants to devote more attention to knowledge and technology transfer and actively engage at the interface between science and politics. ETH counts its staff among its success factors. Accordingly, great importance is attached to its recruitment and further development. In this context, the university also lists its academic autonomy, comprehensive participation rights and its strong local, national and international network. Sustainability also remains a key issue in all areas. ce/mm
