LGBTQIA+
As ETH Diversity, we promote the visibility and recognition of gender and sexual diversity. Here you can find helpful information for LGBTQIA+ communities and people.
Values of ETH Diversity
Gender diversity is a social reality. This also applies to colleges and universities. With our work, we want to make students and staff feel welcome at ETH Zurich, to bring their whole selves to the university in order to develop their full potential. We see it as our task to help improve the framework conditions for trans, inter and non-binary persons, for example, both in formal administrative procedures and in daily interaction with each other at the university. We want to facilitate a discrimination-free campus life and reflect the diversity of ETH members in teaching and research.
We are happy to receive requests and concerns and look forward to an exchange with the community.
The acronym LGBTQIA+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Agender/Asexual/Aromantic and everyone who feels part of the queer community.
