After a welcome by ETH President Joël Mesot and some words of greeting from the two guests, researchers and students of the university provided an insight into their work. Joël Mesot warmly welcomed the Italian President, who was accompanied by his daughter, and the President of the Swiss Confederation, who was accompanied by his wife, along with guests to a packed Audi Max. In his welcome address, he emphasised how much Italy and ETH Zurich had in common. For example, 1,100 students and scientific staff as well as 27 professors working at ETH came from Italy. And researchers maintained more than 450 contacts with Italian universities, research institutions and companies.
