19.SWISS FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (ETH) (Zurich,Switzerland)
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology—widely known by its German acronym ETH—is the leading university in Switzerland and the highest-ranked school on the continent of Europe.
Once the home of Albert Einstein, today ETH draws over 18,000 students from roughly 80 countries (36.9 percent of its students are foreign), who study in both German and English.
Twenty-one Nobel Laureates are associated with the school.
ETH is especially well-connected to the private sector. It produces approximately 80 new patents a year.
The school also helps its scientists develop and market the products of their research, and has consequently paved the way for hundreds of spin-off companies.
The university has special strengths in the areas of energy supply, risk management, city development, global food security, and international health.
ETH also benefits from its location within one of Europe’s leading cultural centers.
Zurich has the reputation of a clean and pleasant place, which is why it has long been ranked as the city with the world’s highest standard of living.
ETH also benefits from its proximity to another major research institution, the University of Zurich.
