Renovation is required for the HIL building on the Hönggerberg campus. Prior to this, ETH students and researchers are exploring new approaches to sustainable and circular construction within the Living Lab HIL. A new website provides insight into this initiative.

Are you passionate about advancing the frontiers of resilient navigation to tackle the growing challenges of signal interference? Are you an expert in GNSS processing eager to integrate cutting-edge multi-sensor fusion and AI technologies?

The Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering at ETH Zurich remains among the top institutions worldwide: in the latest QS World University Rankings 2026, it is ranked fourth in Civil & Structural Engineering, following several years of steady progress in the field.

Climate change is lengthening our days because rising sea levels slow Earth’s rotation. Researchers from the University of Vienna and ETH Zurich now show that the current increase in day length – 1.33 milliseconds per century – is unprecedented in the past 3.6 million years. The team reconstructed ancient day-length fluctuations using the fossil remains of single-celled marine organisms known as benthic foraminifera.
