This will hit the ETH Domain in several ways: firstly, because there is no budget for the mandatory contribution to Horizon Europe; next, because there will be cuts of more than 2%; and lastly, because the adjustment for inflation has been dropped.

These reserves give the ETH Domain the necessary financial flexibility, allow it to plan more securely and enable it to invest in new scientific fields. In addition, they help cover the shortfalls caused by the rise in personnel, material and energy costs. Against a backdrop of increasing student numbers, the reserves are in any case insufficient to make up for the cuts and the low increase in funding \u2013 which fails to make any adjustment for
