Project CRATER is a hands-on student project building modular systems for Mars-like exploration, navigation, and scientific discovery. We're solving tasks such as autonomous controls, robotic arm manipulation, scientific planning, resource extraction and autonomous droning. The European Rover Challenge is one of the world's leading space robotics competitions, supported by ESA and NASA experts. We're using the Competition to establish a baseline for future student exploration robotics at ETH. Originally, we focused on in-situ resource utilization technologies, but we quickly realized we need a mobile transport platform to make any of it usable in the field. With our strong background in robotics and experience in international teams, we saw this competition as the perfect launchpad to build ETH’s first student robotic rover! ...

Insects play a central role in our ecosystems. They are important for pollinating various plants and form a substantial part of the food chain. Unfortunately, the diversity and quantity of insects has declined sharply in recent years and decades. Where they used to hum loudly, they are now silent. There are many reasons for this, ranging from intensification of agriculture to changes in land use patterns to the increasing threat of climate change. It is imperative to protect insects and their diversity. For this reason, Hier Summts is committed to raising awareness about the diversity of insects, their benefits and insect mortality throughout Switzerland by educating members and the general public about the importance of insects to local ecosystems. General knowledge about insect conservation is to be conveyed in as many ways as possible, such as through school visits, excursions and lectures. So far, we have been able to offer various events on entomology and biodynamic viticulture which are open to both members and non-members. Join our events and/or association to learn and discover much more about insects! ...

Social Impact
Our aim is to raise awareness of sustainability in business and offer students a platform to get involved in sustainable business practices. We encourage members to shape their academic and professional careers in a sustainable way. The idea for the Sustainable Business Club was born at the University of Zurich. We noticed a lack of emphasis on sustainability in business lectures and academic curriculum. Existing student clubs and initiatives were not specifically focused on sustainability in a business context. We perceived this as a gap in the academic and student landscape that needed to be urgently filled. What we do: • Events and activities to promote insights into sustainable business practices• Interdisciplinary exchange by involving students from different faculties• Co-operation with companies committed to sustainability• Promote career opportunities in the field of sustainable business...
