«Every donation from ETH alumnae and alumni* for the Centre for Students and Entrepreneurs will be matched 1:1 by Fondation Alcea – up to one million francs. Your donation will double in value!»
Fondation Alcea
Thank you!
Thanks to the commitment of over 1600 ETH alumni, students and employees the challenge target of CHF 1 million was reached in only eight months.
We would like to thank all donors. Special thanks go to the ETH juniors who brought the challenge over the finish line and to Jost Allmeling, Plexim, Prof Dr Roland Siegwart, Dr Severin Hacker, Andreas Friedrich, Heer und Co AG and the Werner Steiger Foundation.
The Fondation ALCEA will double the million raised to 2 million.
«The Centre for Students and Entrepreneurs will be a meeting place for science and industry – and a creative hotspot.»
Jeannine Pilloud, President ETH Alumni Association
«As head of the Student Project House, I experience every day how essential the learning processes outside the lecture hall are for students. We can hardly wait to see every single square metre of the new building come to life – with creative minds, ideas and prototypes.»
Lucie Rejman, Head of Student Project House, ETH alumna
«I’d have been spared many a wrong path if I’d had the chance of closer exchange with other start-ups. Future young entrepreneurs will have this at the Centre for Students and Entrepreneurs every day – a great project!».
Lukas Ambühl, young entrepreneur, ETH alumnus
«To be sure that technical innovations are transferred to society, I teach my students to think and act like entrepreneurs at an early stage.»
Roland Siegwart, ETH Professor of Autonomous Systems, ETH alumnus
«A space where promising young scientists can develop their talent and expand their network.»
