Easily change your name, address and magazine settings

Moved and need to update your address? Want to receive life magazine as a PDF instead of in print – but now in English rather than German? Or maybe you’d like to display your CV to those who look you up in the directory? All of this can be configured on www.adressen.ethz.ch.

Change your subscription settings

Simply visit www.adressen.ethz.ch  and enter your login information. After that it’s incredibly easy to make changes:

Under “Deliveries” you’ll find an overview of ETH publications that you can subscribe to: life magazine for employees and the Polykum magazine for students.

For instance, if you’d like to receive life as an English PDF via email rather than getting the German print edition in your mailbox, you can change your settings as follows:

  • Language: English
  • Check the “email” box
  • Select “no delivery by post”
  • Don’t forget to save your settings!
Enlarged view: Print Screen
An example of how you can customise the subscription to life.

It’s also possible to switch to an email subscription for Polykum. If you’d still prefer to do your reading on paper rather than on a screen, you can also choose which address you’d like to have the magazine sent to.

Change your address

Of course, this requires your address to be up to date. You can check this under the “Addresses” tab and make any changes to your home and office address if needed.

Update your directory entry

The ETH people search lists all currently registered teaching staff, students and employees at the university. If you’d like to display your CV, information about your area of research or a list of your professional honours and memberships, you can enter this information by going to the “CV and additional data” tab.

Change other personal information

You can make changes to other personal data like your name, marital status and citizenship via ETHIS ( > Personal > Personal Data). Some data you won’t be able to change yourself. In these instances, you can use the email function in ETHIS to get in touch with your contact person at HR.
