ETH-Board
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ETH-Board is the strategic unit elected by the Swiss Federal Council to manage the ETH-Domain. It determines the domain's strategic direction and allocates the funding provided by the Swiss Confederation to the six institutions. It secures the necessary executive management capacity, nominates the six institutions' presidents and directors for election by the Federal Council and appoints professors for both the ETH Zurich and EPF Lausanne.
In pursuit of its vision, the ETH-Board dedicates its energies to promoting the excellence of the ETH-Domain, addressing both internal and external issues, and to fostering its international reputation. It also encourages dialogue between students, lecturers, researchers, society at large, the business world and government.
