Competence Centres
ETH Zurich promotes interdisciplinary research and teaching, for instance, in the form of Competence Centres. Competence Centres are networks accredited by ETH's Executive Board in which researchers from diverse fields coordinate their scientific work and their strategical goals, often in collaboration with external partners.
