About
The ETH Ambassadors Blog features original stories about and by ETH Zurich affiliated persons – from students to professors, staff to alumni. It is a creative space to write about observations, experiences, intercultural challenges, and perceptions of ETH Zurich in an international context. The audience is the global ETH community, but also includes the general public with an interest in ETH Zurich’s activities abroad, potential donors and our followers. This is a public blog that is primarily promoted on social media.
