The Science, Technology and Policy Alumni association (STP) was founded this Summer as a faculty group under the ETH Alumni Association. Its purpose is to promote social as well as professional relationships between former students of the Institute of Science, Technology and Policy (ISTP) of ETH Zürich. Through the organization of networking events, presentations, keynotes and field trips in close collaboration with the ISTP, we will foster knowledge transfer between industry and academia.
Pursuing careers in the private, public or academic sector, and operating at the interface of technology and policy, we are convinced that our alumni will significantly benefit from regular and stimulating exchanges with their peers and will work towards making this faculty group a platform for such exchanges.
On the 13th of September 2019, we officially kicked off with our first event; we organized an Apéro at the ISTP Lounge of ETH Zürich, where we got the chance to welcome the 2019 Student cohort. Furthermore, we had a fruitful exchange among alumni and professors. This first event was a great success: We were happy to welcome former students from all cohorts since the creation of the ISTP, as well as Prof. Bernauer, Prof. Schmidt and the administrative staff of the ISTP.
