Scientists at ETH Zurich and EPFL have developed tiny elastic robots that can change shape depending on their surroundings. Modeled after bacteria and fully biocompatible, these robots optimize their movements to get to hard-to-reach areas of the human body. They stand to revolutionize targeted drug delivery.

Endress+Hauser would like to be able to anticipate earlier when their measurement devices might require servicing. So they have asked ETH juniors to develop a predictive maintenance tool.

How to manage collaboration between industry and academia? The ETH Chair of Strategic Management and Innovation carried out a study with Novartis to investigate this question. Prof. Georg von Krogh (ETH Zurich) and Dr. Hans Widmer (Novartis) give insight into the surprising results.

The Long Night of Careers offered companies the possibility to meet more than 2000 talents from ETH Zurich. See some impressions from this event in the video.
