Martin Weber (Chair of the Board of Directors of Robeco Switzerland) presented the award for the best "Quantitative Finance Master's Thesis", an initiative of the ongoing collaboration beween the University of Zurich, ETH Zurich, and Robeco promoting research on the topic of sustainable investing.

The second part of the pleasant evening took place at the Dozentenfoyer at the top of ETH with an apéro and a wonderful seated dinner. With his funny anecdotes alumnus Akilesh Matur made everybody laugh. The last talk of the evening was held by Antonello Cirulli, president of the very active "Zurich Quantitative Finance Alumni" (ZQFA) organisation, who "in normal times" takes care of the alumni gatherings.

Our department is highly grateful to the continuous dedication of Prof. Walter Farkas and his team!
