Range of services

CC primarily manages communications projects aimed at a broad audience, for example:

the general public (Swiss taxpayers and citizens)
media outlets
political decision makers
business and industry representatives
the ETH community as a whole (professors/lecturers, scientific and administrative/technical staff, doctoral and other students)
ETH alumni as a whole

Projects aimed at other target groups – particularly peers and professional associations – are managed independently by ETH units in cooperation with the staff units. The Content Team can nevertheless provide support on request.
