The European Research Council (ERC) has agreed to fund two high-profile international projects with ETH’s backing: Torsten Hoefler is helping to accelerate supercomputing and Ruth Signorell is leading a project on the chemistry of very small droplets.
Two new ETH professorships will focus on using artificial intelligence to identify security vulnerabilities while also protecting AI systems from attacks. The Canton of Zug is providing up to CHF 55 million over 25 years. It will also enter into a five-year partnership with the Zurich Information Security and Privacy Center (ZISC) at ETH Zurich.
