Dandelion Entrepreneurship Award 2022
The award recognises professors for their outstanding efforts to promote entrepreneurship at ETH Zurich and all ETH students, doctoral students, and Postdocs could cast their vote for the winners.
We believe professors play an essential (but often overlooked) role for Switzerland’s start-up and innovation ecosystem. Not only do they spark ground-breaking ideas with their research labs and share their knowledge with a global community, but also provide mentorship to the next generation of entrepreneurs and innovators. They have a key influence in opening up career paths and encourage to pursue bold ideas from research to practice.
Voting
All ETH students, doctoral students, and Postdocs could cast their vote for the Dandelion Entrepreneurship Award. They helped to recognise the most entrepreneurship-friendly professors at ETH Zurich! Voting was possible until 16 September 2022.
