Wanted: “Pros and Cons” articles for the next issue of “life” magazine

For the June issue of the staff magazine life, we are looking for contributions for the “Pros and Cons” section. Would you like to write an article explaining why there needs to be more appreciation in everyday working life? Or perhaps not? Then get in touch!

A sincere ‘thank you’, an appreciative glance, a brief word of feedback at just the right moment: appreciation can shape our daily working lives. Even at ETH Zurich, where many people engage in great cooperation, the question arises: how much appreciation is needed in our day-to-day work? And is it lacking, or has it long since become a matter of course?

To explore this, we are looking for two staff members: one person who is convinced that appreciation is under-represented in everyday working life – and one who believes it is already sufficiently present or that other aspects are more important. Do you have a clear stance and a desire to articulate it forcefully? Please send your expression of interest by Tuesday, 14 April via email to the editorial team: . You will write the two articles yourself, with support from the editorial team.

The March issue of life magazine has just been published and is available to read online. In MyContact, you can choose whether you would like to receive the magazine electronically or in print.
