CYBATHLON @school
The CYBATHLON @school project offers teaching modules on the topics of inclusion and robotics in various subjects. The project seeks to make teachers, children and young people more aware of the everyday challenges faced by those with disabilities, and to promote inclusion. Individuals with a disability have helped to develop the teaching modules and also assist in presenting them at school. The modules are aligned with curriculum 21.

Barrier-Free at ETH Zurich
In autumn 2020, the Executive Board of ETH Zurich gave the green light to the implementation of the barrier-free project: over the course of the next few years, people with disabilities or people with special needs – whether students, lecturers, researchers, staff or visitors – should benefit from greatly improved access to ETH buildings and services. The cornerstone of the ETH-wide implementation programme is the institutional approach to the issue and the development of an open and inclusive culture.
