The Women in Natural Sciences Network (WiNs) was established in 2014 by a group of postgraduates and PhD students from the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biology (CHAB), ETH Zurich. It organizes careers and networking events for all PhD students and scientific staff.

LIMES at ETH Zurich (in German)
Ladies in Mechanical and Electrical Studies (LIMES) is an Association established by four students in 2012 from the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering, ETH Zurich. Its aims are to increase networks for female scientists, to attract younger women to science and to work with leadership and ETH to present a student perspective.

WISH at EPFL
The WISH Foundation (Women in Science and Humanities) EPFL was founded even years ago (2007) by a group of female professors at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) with the aim of encouraging the research and promotion of women on campus. The foundation's goal is to foster the success of talented women scientists, engineers and architects.

Women Faculty Forum at Yale University
The Yale Women Faculty Forum (WFF) was established in 2001 during Yale’s Tercentennial year to highlight the presence of women at the University and the accomplishments of Yale alumnae. In the years since its inception, and with the support of the President and Provost of Yale, the WFF has evolved into an organization of women faculty to foster gender equity, promote scholarship by women, mentoring, collaboration and networking.

ETH WPF at ETH Zurich
In 2012 the ETH Women Professors Forum (ETH WPF) was established at ETH Zurich as a network for female professors from the work of the NCCR MUST equal opportunities program. Members of the ETH Women Professors Forum encourage young women to pursue a career in science or engineering. They make their expertise available within and beyond ETH Zurich, as well as support related Swiss initiatives in favor of equal opportunities among the sexes.
