The Center for Security Studies (CSS) at ETH Zürich is a center of competence for Swiss and
international security policy. It offers security policy expertise in research, teaching, and consulting
activities.
The CSS promotes understanding of security policy challenges as a contribution to a more peaceful
world. Its work is independent, practice-relevant, and based on a sound academic footing. It
combines research and policy consultancy and, as such, functions as a bridge between academia and
practice. It trains highly qualified junior researchers and serves as a point of contact and information
for the interested public.
