Projects
ETH members have already launched many interesting projects. They are supported by the Waldlabor Zurich Association and WaLabETHvia ETH pool funds for the Waldlabor. With its projects, ETH Zurich is playing a leading role in shaping the development of processes and standards in the Waldlabor.
Innovative ETH projects
- Q01 Campus Infrastructure (HP)
- Q02 Monitoring Database (VP)
- Q03 MDB Basic layer (HP Test)
- Q04/P04 Fluxtower (VP Infrastructure+Research)
- P01 Arboretum (HP, TP1 Forest)
- P02 Test plantings Quercus (HP)
- P05 Forest soils (HP, TP1 Profiles)
- P06 Hydrology Monitoring (HP)
- P08 Eddy Flux Station (HP)
The projects are divided into either cross-sectional projects with functions for the entire Waldlabor (Q) or thematic projects on substantive aspects of forests, forest management and society (P). Larger projects are currently only in the preliminary project stage (VP) and not yet in the implementation stage of a main project (HP). Larger, long-term main projects are designed modularly and currently focused on the implementation of a first subproject (TP1).
Members of ETH Zurich from all departments and groups can submit projects. In spring 2026, there will be a new call for project proposals (pool funds from the ETH Schulleitung) for ETH projects in the Waldlabor Zürich (cf. Participation).
