Federal Council’s Strategic Objectives for the ETH Domain
Since the 2017–2020 funding period, the Federal Council has set strategic objectives for the ETH Domain in line with the management principles for autonomous public-law institutions. The Swiss Parliament established the legal basis for this with its amendment of the ETH Act on 30 September 2016. Under this governance model, Parliament exercises ultimate oversight and monitors the Federal Council as guardian of federal interests. It may also instruct the Federal Council to adopt or adjust specific objectives.
