Welcome to the GHE student space

Welcome to the student space of the Global Health Engineering team. This space was developed for BSc & MSc Thesis Projects, as well as MSc Semester Projects.

We are so happy that you have joined our group!

On your first few days at ETH you will be confronted with some tasks to get started. This page should help you understand our workflow, the tools we use, and the expectations we have towards each other.

Getting started

We refer to this space as a Wiki. The Wiki provides you with an idea about our work culture and workflows in general. When you decide to join us for a thesis project we want to ensure that you are not surprised by anything.

If you haven't yet decided whether you want to do your project with us, feel free to go through the Onboarding agreement to learn more about the expectations.

If you have already joined, please go through the following steps in Week 1 of your project. We have chosen the tools described below to ease the exchange, collaborate more efficiently, and to set clear expectations towards each other from the very beginning.

  1. Read the Onboarding agreement. It is a statement of work which sets the bases for our work. It contains references to all other subpages mentioned in this list. We will provide you with a printed version of this agreement, which we expect you to sign in Week 2 when we meet to discuss your research proposal. 
  2. Find your Grading rubric, read it and clarify all your questions with your supervisor. We want the grading process to be as transparent as possible.
  3. Set up Google Workspace, as described in the Google Workspace section.
  4. Set up the Element app, as described in the Communication and Calendar section.
  5. Set up Zotero, as described in the Reference management section.
  6. Get an ORCID iD as described in Publication.
