Hugo Tschirky: Building bridges between management and engineering
ETH Zurich has a long history of connecting business management and technical engineering concerns. This bridging function is assumed today by the MTEC Department. Hugo Tschirky, who died in October 2020 at the age of 83 due to complications from a heart operation, contributed decisively to this tradition as Professor of Business Management from 1982 to 2003.

Even after his retirement, Hugo Tschirky remained linked in many ways to the newly founded MTEC Department. He was a committed and inspiring partner in discussions about company leadership and technology management right up until his death.
We will hold him in our remembrance with the deepest respect.
