Boards, university groups and commissions
University Assembly
Based on the principle of equal representation, the University Assembly (UA) is a body made up of elected representatives from the four university groups.
University groups
The Lecturers' Conference (KdL) is composed of six members of the General Conference of the Faculty Members, one representative from each department, and the Rector. It advises the Executive Board on all matters which concern the faculty as a whole and represents faculty interests, e.g. by issuing position statements on consultation issues.
Commissions
The following permanent commissions have been set up to advise the Executive Board:
The Digital Transformation Committee (DTC) advises and supports the Vice President Finance and Controlling with the digitalisation of administrative processes, the implementation of the digitalisation strategy and its periodic further development in accordance with the overall strategy of the ETH Zurich. In doing so, it focuses on the overall interests of the institution.
The Risk Management Commission advises the President and the Executive Board on matters relating to risk management, risk financing and insurance. It regularly assesses the risk, damage and insurance situation at ETH Zurich and supports the university’s various institutions in coordinating and organising risk management.
Other groups
In addition, there are various groups at ETH Zurich dealing with specific issues, such as these:
The Science-?Policy Advisory Board advises the Executive Board and especially the President as well as the Vice-?President for Knowledge Transfer and Corporate Relations on issues at the interface of science and policy. This board evaluates the work and activity of ETH Zurich at the interface to policymakers and makes recommendations for the further development of this area.
