The North-South Centre at a glance Programme and organisation Many professors at the ETH Zurich deal with North-South issues. With its capacity in research, education and scientific advisory services the ETH Zurich contributes to solving problems related to developing countries and emerging economies. In order to better bundle these activities, the ETH Zurich has created a competence centre, the North- South Centre, in 2007. The North-South Centre is the focal point of the ETH Zurich in all affairs that involve developing countries and emerging economies. It promotes research collaboration and capacity development in international development and cooperation covering the technical, natural, human and social sciences. The North-South Centre builds on the comparative advantage of the ETH Zurich as one of the leading technical universities worldwide. It uses the competences of its members and their disciplinary strengths. Thus, the research activities of all members represent the core of the North- South Centre. Resulting partnerships with research institutions, governmental organisations, development agencies, and others in the North and in the South are another important pillar of the Centre. The activities of the North-South Centre cover three main areas: “Research collaboration”, “Capacity development”, and “Networking and communication”. Thereby, the North-South Centre promotes the ETH Zurich as a leading institution on North-South matters in its field – research and education. 12 Profile The North-South Centre at a glance Research collaboration Research on food and agriculture Cooperation with UNEP Seed money activities Capacity development Research Fellow Partnership Programme (RFPP) Grants Sawiris Scholarships Colloquium Networking and communication Memberships in national and international fora European Research Area Networks (ERA-NET) LivestockNet Conferences Programme structure of the North-South Centre
The core of the North-South Centre activities is based on the research partnerships of its members and associated members that currently belong to ten out of 16 departments of the ETH Zurich and to the Eawag, the PSI and a joint competence centre with the University of Zurich. The members either conduct research projects related to the different programmes of the North-South Centre or independent North-South related activities. All these activities are embedded in partnerships with institutions from the South and from the North. As defined in the statutes of the North-South Centre, the governing bodies are the Executive Committee and the Steering Committee. In addition, Technical Committees oversee specific programme areas. External advisors are forseen for the support of the centre in its strategic development. The management team performs the day-to-day business. In 2009, it consisted of the Managing Director, and seven part-time staff members for programme management, programme assistance and communication.
