Polykum is the official magazine of the students’ association of ETH Zurich (VSETH). The first issue of Polykum was published in 1992. Since then it steadily accompanies students, lecturers and staff of ETH through the semesters with its six annual issues. With a circulation of around 22,000 copies, it is sent directly to students’ homes. Since 2019, the Polykum is no longer only written, but also managed and edited by students. An experienced editorial team and fresh creative voices ensure that we better represent our readership, take on board their interests and criticisms, and continue to inspire, amuse and provoke ETH members with exciting topics, research results ranging from the amusing to the grotesque, and current problems for many years to come.
