Diversity networks at ETH Zurich
Important equality and diversity work at universities is also carried out by associations and individuals with and without an ETH connection. Below you will find an overview and links to the various groups and initiatives.
In some departments, students, doctoral students and postdocs have come together in so-called ‘female associations’ or diversity groups. These associations/groups organise lectures, networking events, career events, peer mentoring and much more. Most female associations/diversity groups are financially supported by their departments and also work together with ETH Diversity. Detailed information on the relevant activities can be found on the respective websites.
