Hochschulversammlung
Based on the principle of equal representation, the University Assembly (UA) is a body made up of elected representatives from the four university groups.
Composition
The University Assembly is composed as follows:
- 1 president
- 1 vice president
- at least 20 members
- 1 secretary
plus guests, in particular the Executive Board and experts, who are invited to join meetings as required.
In addition, the University Assembly forms a committee which accompanies day-to-day business and prepares the assembly meetings.
The committee comprises one representative of each of the four university groups, and the secretary.
Participation at ETH
Participation is a central component of the culture at ETH and is enshrined in law. The participation of the four university groups ensures that the Executive Board's decisions are widely accepted and supported - and can be influenced or corrected if necessary.
