More than 2000 years ago, Zurich was founded by the Romans as a fortress. Today, Zurich has about 400'000 inhabitants and is the largest city in Switzerland. Zurich is the main town of a canton also named Zurich. With snow covered mountains in sight, the huge water reservoir of the Lake of Zurich, important and numerous historical monuments, and a rich cultural scene, Zurich is one of Europe's most attractive cities. Zurich is not only important for its universities, but is also the commercial centre of Switzerland and a platform for international trade.

In 1855, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) was founded mainly as a school for engineers, but also as a compensation to Zurich for not being the capital city of Switzerland. Between 1861 and 1864, the impressive main building was created by Gottfried Semper. In the history of ETH, many well known scientists and Nobel price winners attended this school. Today, about 16'000 students are matriculated in 17 departments of all technical and scientific disciplines.
