The Golden Owl is an award given to lecturers who have provided exceptional teaching and encourages them to continue in this way. The award was initiated by VSETH, ETH Zurich's students' association.
All ETH members with a teaching assignment are entitled to a Golden Owl nomination. One lecturer per department is selected to receive this mark of recognition.
