Since 2008, ETH Sustainability has developed and implemented numerous projects and formats, some of which have now been completed or integrated into various areas of the university. A selection is listed here.

ETH Week

ETH Week is an interdisciplinary teaching format for students from all departments of ETH Zurich. It deals with societal challenges and promotes critical thinking and creativity.

ETH Talks

ETH Talks were major annual events held at the invitation of the ETH President on topics relevant to sustainability (e.g. water, energy, spatial planning, health). They offered platforms for direct exchange between science, politics and practice.

ETH Seed
Sustainability

ETH Seed Sustainability promoted student research on sustainability-related topics, successful collaboration between scientific theory and practice, and brought together the needs and expectations of research, teaching and business. The students' work was supervised by scientists and partners from practice.

ETH Sustainability Summer and Winter Schools

The ETH Sustainability Summer and Winter Schools offered students the opportunity to work in interdisciplinary and intercultural teams on current topics from the field of sustainability. The format has been continued by ETH4D since 2022.

Pioneers in
Sustainability

In the "Pioneers in Sustainability" event series, participants learned how to be professionally successful and advocate for sustainability at the same time. They learned first-hand about pioneering ideas in sustainability and were given the unique opportunity to meet exceptional people and learn from their experiences. The format has been continued in cooperation with ETH4D since 2022.

Ecoworks

Ecoworks was a project platform through which employees and students could submit project ideas to improve environmental performance. The combination of different perspectives and experiences led to creative solutions on campus (e.g. Seed City garden on Campus Hönggerberg).

A platform where student projects can be implemented today is ETH Zurich's Student Project House.

Sustainability
Excursions

ETH Sustainability regularly organised excursions to experience lighthouse projects in sustainability and sustainability research, including to the ZHAW in Wädenswil, to NEST in Dübendorf, or to the Hönggerberg Campus.
