At ETH Zurich, we are used to excellence. In research, in education, in our daily work. But what does that mean for each and every one of us? When is a task, a project or a piece of work ‘good enough’? And when are you ‘good enough’ as a father or mother or in sport?
For the next issue of our staff magazine ‘life’, we are looking for voices from the ETH community: professors, research assistants, doctoral students or technical and administrative staff. We want to paint a diverse picture of the challenges we face and how we meet them “well enough”. We are particularly interested in how you deal with your own expectations and how you manage to go home feeling good at the end of the day despite high expectations.
If you are interested in participating, please contact us by 04 June at and write to us explaining why you think you are suitable. We look forward to receiving as many submissions as possible and are curious to hear about your personal approach to this topic.
