Coffee Lectures: new knowledge in ten minutes
In the event series of the ETH Library from June 2022, you can get input on tools and topics that support your academic work in a short and crisp form.
Get to know a new tool in our Coffee Lectures that assists you in your academic work or learn important tips and tricks on topics such as Creative Commons licences, maps and geodata for research and teaching, or on the new ordering interface of ETH Library @ swisscovery.
