“Leadership Feedback Process” test run successfully completed

The pilot test for the Leadership Feedback Process has proved positive. From 2024, all full professors will systematically obtain and address feedback on their leadership role at regular intervals. Alongside individual reflection on potential blind spots, this process will enable ETH to specifically gear and tailor the support it offers for professors.

Cleanroom Facilities

Working in a cleanroom

FIRST-Lab provides with its cleanroom about 400 square meters of processing environment with controlled parameters for micro- and nanoscience experiments. Young scientists have the opportunity to work in the field of photo- and nanolithography, to carry out thin film deposition processes, to analyze and characterize their processed samples and to learn about epitaxy of semiconductors.

Access to FIRST

FIRST-Lab is open to all institutes at ETH and to external research laboratories, which require a cleanroom environment for their research work. We are an user lab focusing on the education and training of PhD students and Post Docs.

In order to work within FIRST, a project must be proposed to and approved by the FOT. Larger projects require approval by the FMT.
