ETH Zurich – Where the future begins Freedom and individual responsibility, entrepreneurial spirit and open-mindedness: ETH Zurich stands on a bedrock of true Swiss values. Our university for science and technology dates back to the year 1855, when the founders of modern-day Switzerland created it as a centre of innovation and knowledge. At ETH Zurich, students discover an ideal environment for independent thinking, researchers a climate which in-spires top performance. Situated in the heart of Europe, yet forging connections all over the world, ETH Zurich is pioneering effective solutions to the global challenges of today and tomorrow. Some 530 professors teach around 20,500 students – including 4,100 doctoral students – from over 120 countries. Their collective research embraces many disciplines: natural sciences and engineering scienc-es, architecture, mathematics, system-oriented natural sciences, as well as management and social sci-ences. The results and innovations produced by ETH researchers are channelled into some of Switzer-land’s most high-tech sectors: from computer science through to micro- and nanotechnology and cutting-edge medicine. Every year ETH registers around 90 patents and 200 inventions on average. Since 1996, the university has produced a total of 380 commercial spin-offs. ETH also has an excellent reputation in scientific circles: 21 Nobel laureates have studied, taught or researched here, and in international league tables ETH Zurich regularly ranks as one of the world’s top universities.

Formula Student, the students' design competition. Young engineers from more than 600 teams worldwide are tinkering with innovative racing vehicles and pushing the technically feasible to its limits. All to compete in 8 different statistical as well as dynamic disciplines at international racing events this summer in 3 different vehicle classes: Internal Combustion, Electric and Driverless vehicles. Starting with a dream and founded as the second youngest Austrian student racing team in 2007, we participated in international Formula Student competitions for the first time in 2008 with a self-developed and constructed vehicle. What started as a small group has meanwhile developed into a real extended family: In the meantime, the team comprises almost 100 racing enthusiastic members from various fields of study and different nationalities. From the classics of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science to economics and oriental studies, everything is represented here. It is precisely these different student origins and backgrounds that bring a wide range of knowledge and shape the very special and unique team spirit. With the increasing number of members over the years, our team structure has become more and more complex, resulting in the formation of specialized modules that focus on their respective mechanical, electronic or organizational tasks. In total, we consist of 14 such modules.
