Pilots Compete at Cybathlon

Zurich is a Mecca for world-class athletics – and world-class science. The Cybathlon competition, initiated by ETH Zurich, is part of the Weltklasse Zürich events at Zurich’s main train station this year. The ETHZ - the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich – and Weltklasse Zürich make a great combination: The ETHZ is one of the world’s most renowned universities, and Weltklasse Zürich one of the most prestigious athletics meetings worldwide.
