ETH Board in favour of full association with Erasmus+
Berne/Zurich, 11.12.2020 - At its meeting on 9/10 December the ETH Board discussed a number of topical matters relating to educational and research policy, and declared itself to be in favour of Switzerland’s full association with Erasmus+. It is convinced that the benefits to the Swiss universities outweigh any additional costs. The ETH Board was gratified to note that, of the professors newly appointed in 2020, around 40% are women. This is the highest proportion ever. In addition, the ETH Board appointed Marc Bachelot as Interim Vice President for Finance at EPFL, and Carsten Schubert as a member of the Eawag Directorate.
