The Rector’s Impulse Fund

Aim

The aim is to support innovative short-term projects to stimulate and improve teaching. In 2022, funding will be provided for projects that introduce students to the methods of data-based modelling with machine learning in the Bachelor's degree programmes at ETH Zurich using easy-to-understand applications from the specialist disciplines.

Apply until 31 October

ETH members with a teaching assignment and an employment of at least 50 percent can submit projects, as well as student associations officially linked to the ETH Zurich and the VSETH.

Please submit project applications via .

Project Team Computational Competencies

Review Criteria 

The application of machine learning is directly related to the lecture in which it is embedded. The didactic scenario is chosen in such a way that the students can explain - and in part also carry out - the entire process afterwards. The teaching element can inspire teachers from all degree programmes to design their own low-threshold access to methods of computerbased modelling.

The applications should be in the range of 12-15 kCHF. In exceptional cases and in agreement with the project office, higher amounts may be approved.
The project means can be used for personnel and/or for material. The project duration should last a maximum of 1 year.
