18 new professorships

No money for the ETH
The ETH will not benefit from the windfall. It belongs to the Federal government and is therefore not part of the Zurich digitization offensive. The Zurich universities would, however, have already been working together in various projects with ETH Zurich, Steiner said. These projects would, of course, continue. With the money of the DIZH the cantonal would schools with stronger partners. (sda/tif)
