University politics

What is the Hopo

Hopo is all about university politics. The VIS has a committee of about 20 members and a Board Member for Hopo, which take care of all topics concerning university politics. If you have a problem or suggestions with anything concerning ETH, be it a lecture, ETH regulations or something about the study program, then you are in the right place. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Committees of Hopo

By sitting on various committees (Teaching Committee (UK), Department Conference (DK), VSETH Council of Study Assosciations (FR) and VSETH Members Council (MR)) we can influence the teaching, the orientation of the department and the infrastructure available to students. In addition, we supervise the semester speakers and hold personal discussions with the administration and the professors of the department on a regular basis in order to improve the situation of the students.

We differentiate between internal and external Hopo from our point of view. Internal Hopo contains all topics of the department concerning Hopo and this includes the UK and the DK. External Hopo includes all VSETH topics related to Hopo, including FR and MR. More information can be found at https://vis.ethz.ch/en/politics/committees.
