🌞 Upcoming in FS 2024 🌞
ETH Net Zero Day
Tuesday, 28.05.2024, 13:00 – 19:00 (open end)
How does a Net Zero future look like? What is ETH doing regarding its greenhouse gas emissions? And how can you contribute?
Join us for our biggest event of the semester, the first ETH Net Zero Day, co-organized with ETH Sustainability, Student Project House (SPH), and Circular Horizon. This event is designed to engage students and employees in ETH’s journey to net zero emissions.
At the event, you will hear about the ETH Net Zero program and how ETH Sustainability, SSC, and SPH are working on reducing emissions. Additionally, there will be inputs from researchers on how we can reach Net Zero at ETH and on a societal scale. Afterwards, you can participate in a 3-hour hackathon, working on different projects related to emission reductions.
There, best projects will win some attractive prices as well as coaching for their implementation.
Find more information on the dedicated website and reserve your spot here.
