Current status of eth Ethereum
Eth is the Federal Institute of technology of Zurich, located in Zurich, Switzerland. It is a world-renowned top research university. For many years, it has ranked first in European universities and enjoys the reputation of "the first university in Europe". It ranks sixth in the world in the comprehensive ranking of QS World Universities in 2020
The Federal Institute of technology in Zurich was founded by the Swiss Federation in 1854 and began to teach as a technical college in 1855. Initially, it consisted of six faculties of architecture, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry and forestry, as well as an organization integrating mathematics, natural sciences, literature, social sciences and politicsthe Federal Institute of technology of Zurich ranked 9th in the world in the 2016 QS World University comprehensive ranking; In 2017, QS ranked the eighth in the world; Ranked 10th in the world in the comprehensive ranking of QS World Universities in 2018; Ranked 7th in the world in the comprehensive ranking of QS World Universities in 2019; In 2020, QS ranked the sixth in the world
the development status of eth
the Swiss Federal Institute of technology was established by the Swiss Federal Government in 1855 for the needs of national instrialization, which is a Federal University. It is not only for its own development, but also for the whole country, Europe and even the world to engage in scientific research. At the beginning, the university only had civil engineering, forest science, mechanical engineering and chemistry, and then added humanities, sociology and political science
the school has 26000 teachers and students from more than 100 countries in 16 departments, and its teaching and research fields include architecture, engineering, mathematics, natural science, social science and management science. For eth, the number of students enrolled and tuition fees are not considered at all. With the support of the federal government, the college receives as much as 9.2 billion Swiss francs a year for ecation, which does not include the use of property management and new teaching facilities
the college has also received up to 3 billion Swiss francs from third-party funding and its own technology transformation. All these funds are used for school running and scientific research, or most of them are directly used for more than 20000 students and 500 professors (full-time equivalent personnel of more than 9000 person years)
Even so, ETH continues to say that it is short of money in its annual reports in recent two years, and the reason is very simple. In order to compete with other institutions (universities), our independence is the most important, so we need a long-term sustainable financial supportlast year, we expanded the enrollment of 4% of the students. At present, the number of students is 156% of that ten years ago, the number of professors has increased by 23%, and the number of scientific research personnel has increased by 53%. However, the government's scientific research funding has only increased by 42%, and the available area for ecation has only increased by 7%. We are facing great challenges
However, it is not surprising in Switzerland. Due to its unique ecation system, all resources in Switzerland are concentrated in 10 universities and 2 federal polytechnics. In other words, there are only 12 universities at the level of higher ecation, and the country is not short of money, so the current situation is formedEthereum is an open-source public blockchain platform with smart contract function. It mainly provides decentralized virtual machine to process point-to-point contracts through its special encrypted currency Ethereum, which is fast and unlimited in quantity. In other words, it is a monetary payment system, but their functions and purposes are different
if bitcoin is considered to be a shared global book that securely records all bitcoin bills. Then Ethereum is to maintain a shared computing platform, which can flexibly and safely run any program users want. Because of this, many countries and enterprises are developing how to use Ethereum technology in the real world.
