ALEA - Art of Leadership Award

ALEA Award

The award for exemplary leadership at ETH Zurich

The ALEA Award honours ETH members with an exemplary leadership style. This includes any group leader acting with responsibility, fostering inclusivity and prioritising the well-being of their team members by coaching and supporting them, showing them respect and appreciation, and exploring innovative ideas. These leaders contribute to making ETH Zurich a global champion in teaching and research.

Thanks to the collaboration between the Academic Association of Scientific Staff at the ETH Zurich (AVETH ) and the Vice-Presidency for Personnel Development and Leadership (VPPL), the ALEA award also invites nominations for employees taking on technical leadership roles without assuming personnel responsibility at the same time. Eligible for nomination are thus also senior scientists, project managers, workshop leaders, etc. in recognition of their contribution.

In 2024, the ALEA Award and the Diversity Award were awarded in a joint ceremony for the first time.
