ETH Zurich as a platform for dialogue
ETH Zurich is committed to providing scientific expertise concerning societal challenges at the local, regional, and global level. It strives to be at the forefront of academia’s efforts to educate the decision-makers of today and tomorrow, and to provide policymakers with evidence that helps to tackle policy challenges and develop sustainable, effective, and efficient policies.
Based on its world-leading teaching and research in the natural sciences and engineering, architecture as well as in social sciences and humanities, ETH Zurich makes use of inter- and transdisciplinary approaches of collaboration with policymakers to jointly develop solutions to complex political challenges. Thereby, ETH Zurich positions itself as a hub for the dialogue and collaboration between science and policymaking.
