ETH Rector Günther Dissertori clearly expressed his thanks to the visitors of the Meet the Talent event in the Audimax: “Your commitment to the education of the next generation is tremendously valuable. For these critically thinking young people are courageously engaging their efforts for the future of our planet and for a better world.”

The insights presented to the donors ranged from processes to improve the detection of skin diseases, to scenarios for future mobility, to reducing energy consumption by electronic devices thanks to efficient cooling.

The new “Meet & Greet” sessions were also enthusiastically received; students and visitors engaged in lively discussions on questions large and small relating to their studies and life in general.

As well as the discussion of student projects, visitors were able to learn more about ETH’s planned Centre for Students & Entrepreneurs – a place that is intended to be likewise all about discussion and exchange. There, young talent will be able to gain experience outside the curriculum, expand their network, develop original technological solutions or advance their own business ideas.
