About Us

The World Food System Center at ETH Zurich organizes educational courses for advanced university students from around the world and supports PhD students and Postdoctoral researchers at ETH Zurich through competitive research grants. Our courses include summer schools, short courses, and study tours, which are developed independently and sometimes in partnership with other academic institutions or international research projects. You can find out more about us on the Center’s website.

The bloggers writing here have participated in one or more of our programs, and are using this creative space to communicate about their observations, experiences, and food system interests in an informal way.
