About Us

Our mission is to make ETH a better place to learn, teach and do research.

AVETH stands for Akademische Vereinigung des Mittelbaus der ETH which translates to academic association for the scientific staff at ETH. Scientific staff includes scientific assistants, doctoral students, postdocs and even senior scientists! The elected board of AVETH consists of volunteers who organize the political representation of the scientific staff at ETH, bring people together by holding a variety of events and offer counseling and other services for AVETH’s members.
