Mission Statement for ETH ZURICH (SWISS FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY)

ETH Zurich is an institution of the Swiss Confederation dedicated to higher learning and research. Together with EPFL and four research institutes, it forms the federally directed, and to a major degree financed, ETH domain. The institutions of the ETH domain uphold their autonomy and identity on the basis of the ETH Federal Law and in the full awareness of their social, economic and cultural responsibility to the nation and its citizens.
