Dear donors, Dear friends of ETH,

The past year has underlined the importance of mutual help and support, and your contributions have exemplified this. Thanks to donors and partners, ETH Zurich was able to accelerate vital research, extend scholarships for talented young academics during the crisis and press ahead with strategic projects in what proved to be an exceptional year. 2020 impressed on us the need to prepare for the future. It is vital that budding entrepreneurs such as Jonathan Kiefer, who is developing a new treatment for leukaemia, are able to introduce their innovations to society sooner rather than later. Promising talents such as student Janine Wetter, who wants to gain a better understanding of climate change, need optimal support today. And in the field of basic research too, it is crucial to act now to create the right conditions for the future: by constructing a new, highly specialised physics laboratory building, ETH aims to further expand its leading position in quantum research. Your support gives ETH Zurich flexibility and freedom. Every single contribution is important. Together, they have a huge impact – for the benefit and wellbeing of future generations. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks that we are able to count on your support and hope that this publication interests and inspires you.

A step closer to personalised medical treatment, rapid action during the coronavirus pandemic and a boost for quantum research: thanks to your support, we have been able to tackle major challenges over the past year.

Your support makes great things happen. Find out more about the many ways to support teaching and research at ETH Zurich – whether you are a resident in Switzerland, Germany, the US or elsewhere. We will be happy to have a personal conversation with you about your interests and requirements.

Your support 22 YOUR SUPPORT Your support

Ways to support education and research

The following pages show you a few of the areas in which we can work together to achieve more. Find out what your donation can achieve, from basic research to practical applications in your home.

Un-earmarked support (Poly Fund)

Your donation to the ETH Foundation for the general purpose of funding research and teaching at the university allows ETH the greatest possible flexibility. Your support enables the Executive Board to seize diverse opportunities in teaching and research immediately and without undue red tape, driving visionary ideas to fruition. In concrete terms, this means that ETH is able, for instance, to establish new professorships or support exceptional research and teaching projects.

Earmarked support

An earmarked donation allows you to support specific strategic projects at ETH or a subject area of your choice.

Support in your name

You can also provide support for a cause close to your heart or ETH in general through a named fund. Here we set up a fund in your name for this purpose – for example the “Jane Smith Fund to support climate research” or the “John Smith Fund to support research and teaching at ETH Zurich”.

Your own sub-foundation under the umbrella of the ETH Zurich Foundation

With a substantial donation, you can create your own sub-foundation under the umbrella of the ETH Zurich Foundation. We would be happy to show you some options and work with you on an individual solution that ensures your sub-foundation passion project finds the right place within the ETH universe. YOUR SUPPORT 23

Making an impact beyond your lifetime

All these support options can also be considered in your personal estate planning. With legacies and bequests, you can link your personal life story with the prestigious past of ETH Zurich and also help to shape the future.

Bequeathing property

Your emotional attachment to your home tends to grow over the course of a lifetime as it becomes a memory bank of life-defining experiences and milestones. Of course, you want to know that your property will be in good hands when you are no longer here. The ETH Zurich Foundation, as a reliable partner, ensures that donations, legacies or bequests of property are handled professionally.

Together with Immobilien ETHZF AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ETH Zurich Foundation, established specifically to manage properties on behalf of ETH Zurich, we ensure that your interests and wishes are respected.

“It’s a good feeling to know that I can help others beyond my lifetime.” Dr Sandro Mollet, ETH alumnus, has included the ETH Foundation in his will.

Her legacy gift will allow the ETH Zurich Foundation to continue her commitment to research beyond her lifetime.

Ursula Himmel-Glarner studied at ETH at a time when women were rarely given the opportunity to go to university. She always remembered her pharmacology studies as the happiest time of her life. A good education, particularly for women, remained one of her chief concerns. As a result, Ursula Himmel-Glarner, who passed away at the end of 2019, was a long-term supporter of the ETH Zurich Foundation. In accordance with her will, this commitment will continue through funding for exceptional female Master’s students. LEGACY GIFTS 25

An appreciation of donors who supported ETH Zurich with legacies and bequests in 2020

We would also like to express our appreciation to all those bereaved families who have made a gift to ETH in memory of their loved ones. Their gift represents a connection that extends beyond a lifetime. The family of the late Dr Walter Karl Grüebler, former member of the Board of Trustees of the ETH Foundation and long-term CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sika AG, chose to support the Excellence Scholarships in memory of their loved one. The family of the late Peter Strübin, who studied mechanical engineering at ETH and was involved during his lifetime in supporting the next generation of scientists, continued his long-time commitment with a donation in aid of the ETH scholarships.

Our thanks also go to everyone else who supported ETH with their legacy gifts over the past year.

26 INTERNATIONAL

Connected worldwide

ETH Zurich’s worldwide network of donors and leading partners enables the acceleration of internationally outstanding research and teaching for the benefit of the global community. As ambassadors and partners of the university, they help us to take an interconnected approach to the big issues of today and tomorrow and to push the boundaries of knowledge.

The Wellcome Trust – the world-leading foundation for medical research – shares this vision and is supporting the launch of the digital Trial Intervention Platform (dTIP) at ETH. The dTIP will strengthen the implemen- tation of research studies and drive forward clinical research in the field of healthcare.

The ETH Foundation nurtures close relationships with foundations, private individuals and companies in Germany, the US and beyond, exploring funding goals and implementing cherished projects across national boundaries.

“Wellcome and ETH Zurich share the vision that taking down barriers in translational science is key to solving global health challenges. We believe there is still huge potential in medical research and innovation, and we look forward to our partnership with ETH.” Katherine Anastasi-Frankovics, Director of Innovations, Wellcome Trust INTERNATIONAL 27 28 29

“Outstanding talents, bright ideas” Helping exceptional talent produce outstanding achievements for Switzerland as a science and business hub.

Take Nicole Kleger, for example, a doctoral student and former Excellence Scholar who is researching biodegradable bone implants. She has developed a process to man- ufacture magnesium implants using a 3D-printed salt template. Her inspiring research environment, the Complex Materials group led by Professor André Studart, provides the materials scientist with fresh inspiration on a daily basis. And she is moving ever closer to her goal of using the new type of implant to accelerate the healing of complicated bone fractures, thus improving the lives of patients. To continue providing the best possible support for talent such as Nicole's in the future, we need your support.

“Technology for our health” Ensuring that the latest research findings find their way into medical practice and reach people as quickly as possible.

Take Alexander Tanno, for example. Through the spin-off Hemetron, the ETH alumnus, along with doctoral student Yves Blickenstorfer, is developing a rapid test that is accurate, easy to use and portable. He works closely with the university hospitals in Basel and Zurich and with telemedicine companies. The bio- medical engineer hopes that his technology will not only play an important role in overcoming any future pandemics, but also help in tackling the current crisis. He is supported by donors, who have provided him with start-up capital, mentoring and access to ETH labs through a Pioneer Fellowship. ETH Zurich is grateful for your support, which is helping ensure that technology such as this is ready to use as quickly as possible and able to make an innovative contribution to our health.

“Big data & science” Ensuring that basic research opens up future-oriented opportunities in society, business and medicine.

Take the research of Professor Yiwen Chu, for example. Together with her research group for hybrid quantum systems, the scientist is working on developing new methods and devices to connect various types of quantum objects and transmit quantum informa- tion. The group is also conducting basic research into where the boundaries between the quantum world and the traditional world lie. Within just a few years, she anticipates major developments that will have an impact on a wide range of areas such as computing and measurement technology. Your support is helping to accelerate these break- throughs.

“Earth & humankind” Ensuring that our children have the freedom to choose how to use natural resources.

Take Oxara. With their ETH spin-off, Gnanli Landrou and Thibault Demoulin are aiming to facilitate the construction of sustainable and affordable housing all over the world. The two materials scientists are working on a process for producing cement-free concrete from clay-based excavation material. By reducing CO2 emissions and avoiding sand and gravel consumption, their process saves on resources and is also significantly cheaper than conventional methods of concrete production. Donations helped enable the two young entrepreneurs to move closer to realising their vision of dignified housing for all. Thanks to your support, ETH Zurich can continue to transform promising solutions for challenges such as these into marketable products.
