Technology platforms
ETH's technology platforms promote interdisciplinary collaboration, contribute to cost reduction, and present an attractive working environment to highly specialised experts.
Details about the definition and organisation of technology platforms at ETH Zurich can be found in the Download Konzept Technologieplattformen (PDF, 204 KB) (in German). All running platforms are listed below.
AgroVet-Strickhof
At external page AgroVet-Strickhof university education and research in the field of agricultural and veterinary sciences is linked to the practical needs of agriculture through cooperation between Strickhof, ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich. AgroVet-Strickhof also has various state-of-the-art research infrastructures in addition to the animal stables.
