ETH Day
As a tradition, ETH Zurich takes the opportunity to honour members of its community who have distinguished themselves over the past year. The student association VSETH awards lecturers who went the extra mile for their students. In addition, two students from the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering gave an insight into their work at this year's edition of ETH Day.
