Diversity networks at ETH Zurich
Important equality and diversity work at ETH Zurich is also carried out by organisations, groups and individuals with and without a connection to ETH, which we have compiled for you below.
In some departments, students, doctoral students and postdocs have come together in so-called ‘female associations’ or diversity groups. These associations/groups organise lectures, networking events, career events, peer mentoring and much more. Most female associations/diversity groups are financially supported by their departments and also work together with ETH Diversity. Detailed information on the relevant activities can be found on the respective websites.
