We will continue the ETH Day tradition of recognising outstanding performance: awarding honorary doctorates for distinguished contributions to international science and honouring ETH Zurich students, doctoral candidates and lecturers for their exceptional achievements. We will also take this occasion to thank all those who have rendered services to the university.
