Credit Suisse Award for Best Teaching
The aim of the Credit Suisse Award for Best Teaching is to promote quality teaching at tertiary level, and to strengthen Switzerland as a science and research location.
The winners of a Golden Owl are automatically nominated for the Credit Suisse Award for Best Teaching. Using the overall ranking list and other criteria, VSETH and other student associations select the recipient of this prize. The prize is conferred on ETH Day.
