4 ETH Zurich annual report 2008
Foreword from the President Sustainability: action is what counts Dear reader, I am delighted to present to you our new annual report. ETH Zurich has had another eventful year – with countless high points in research and teaching, growing student figures and a record number of newly established ETH spin-off companies. Important progress was also made with the “Excellence Scholarship & Opportunity” grants programme and several new partnerships with industry. I would especially like to highlight one issue that is close to my heart: sustainability. It’s easy to talk about this trendy concept aimed at long-lasting development, but achieving it involves a great deal of expense and effort. At ETH, sustainability must be at the core of all three of our main areas of business – in education, research, and putting the results into practice. Physically, sustainability means using closed materials cycles as far as possible, or else minimising the flow of materials. We need to do that if the soon to be ten billion people on our planet can all hope to enjoy a decent life in harmony with the environment. Making this vision of “sustainability” a reality requires not only the right attitude but also efficient technologies generating less waste. Well thought-through solutions are complex and entail far more than simple energy saving. I am very proud that our Science City campus is a model of a sustainable development. This is being achieved by consistent use of the technologies that are available today. ETH is also demonstrating its commitment to sustainability with a recently created coordination office designed to raise awareness of this topic among the university’s departments and competence centres.
