Membership

How can I become a member of VMI?

Becoming a member of VMI hugely helps us as it not only provides us with more funding, but also strengthens our mandate to represent the scientific staff at our department.

You can become a member of VMI by joining AVETH, the association of scientific staff at ETH Zurich, our parent organization.

  • If you are a doctoral student, you can join AVETH by ticking the box to join AVETH when you enroll for the next semester. You can also fill out the form linked below.
  • If you are a postdoc, senior scientist, or other scientific staff, you can join by filling in this form.

In both cases, membership only costs CHF 4 a month!

What else can I do to support VMI?

There are two ways in which you can additionally support VMI.

First, you can volunteer for one of our board members or other positions. This include the executive board, who run VMI, and our departmental representatives. You can find all our position and all our current volunteers on our People page.

Fortunately, work for many of our positions can be compensated with teaching or credit points. You can again find details on our People page.

Second, you can help us run our events and other activities. For example, we regularly need representatives on hiring panels, and organizing events (such as the summer BBQ) always is easier with more helping hands.
