Compact compliance

Do you want to look up the basic rules for handling business expenses or get tips regarding safety, security, health and the environment? The newly designed compliance website provides the answers to these and other questions relating to compliance at ETH Zurich.

Compliance is often defined as adherence to internal and external guidelines. This is of course correct – but compliance should encompass other things as well: not only should it ensure that the rules are understood and implemented, but it should also strengthen independent, responsible action and the values of ETH Zurich. To support you in achieving all these goals, the new Compliance website is now available. The contents correspond to the Compliance Guide established at ETH Zurich. This can still be downloaded as a Downloadcomplete document in pdf format.

All the information in one place

In addition to the usual topics, such as research integrity, teaching, export controls or animal testing, the website offers direct access to our suite of external pagee-learning services, which we are constantly expanding and optimizing regarding accessibility. There are case studies of everyday situations to help you with complex questions and to playfully augment the website’s content.
