Diversity is crucial to the success and progress of ETH Zurich. Where people with different perspectives work together on equal terms and under equal conditions, new approaches and solutions emerge. Diversity and different perspectives promote innovation – inclusive cooperation strengthens cooperation. Together, they form the foundation for excellence in education and research.
Everyone can contribute to an inclusive ETH Zurich by embracing diverse perspectives, creating inclusive spaces, and actively supporting equal opportunities for all.
