ETH Zurich
October 25, 2018 3:21 pmThe Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich is one of the leading international universities for technology and natural sciences.
As of 2015, it counts 19,233 students including 4,026 doctoral candidates, 503 professors, and 21 former Nobel Laureates. Its annual budget amounts to 1,712 Million CHF, from which 1,265 Million CHF comes from federal contributions and 365 Million CHF from third-party funding. In FP7 researchers at ETHZ were awarded 85 ERC grants, reach rank 4 after Cambridge (126), Oxford (119), and University College London (86). Three out of four ERC grant holders are non-Swiss nationals, the large part from European countries. In total ETHZ received 339 Million € in FP7.
As part as an on-going partnership with IBM, ETH Zürich scientists have access to the Binnig and Rohrer Nanotechnology Center (BRNC, http://www.brnc.ethz.ch) in Rüschlikon, which offers a cutting-edge, collaborative infrastructure designed specifically for advancing nanoscience over 950 m2 of cleanroom space, as well as offices and dry labs.
In this project ETHZ is represented by the Nano-TCAD research group. Within the ULPEC project, ETHZ and IBM decided to closely collaborate and co-advise Ph.D. students hired in the Nano-TCAD group, thus strengthening a long and successful tradition of co-supervising Ph.D. candidates. ETHZ is bringing its modelling expertise, and IBM its experimental skills.
