New Website
To coincide with the start of the new term, PeKo has also revamped its website, which can be reached via “The ETH Zurich/Organisation/Boards, university groups and commissions” on the ETH website (quick link: www.peko.ethz.ch).
The website offers members of ETH Zurich a wealth of useful information on issues and tasks in which PeKo is involved, as well as details of the individual members of the commission and its network across the 16 ETH departments and the ETH Domain. PeKo’s mission statement, bylaws and responsibilities (divisions) can also be found on the website, along with contact details for anyone who has questions or is interested in getting involved. PeKo serves as a point of contact for technical and administrative staff if they experience problems at work.
