The Excellence Scholarship and Opportunities Program (ESOP) is a prestigious grant awarded to a few ETH Zurich graduate students. A sneak peek (and shortened version) of this video can be found on the ETH website: https://ethz.ch/studierende/de/studiu...

A little over a year ago I was lucky enough to be awarded this scholarship, along with around 60 other students across all disciplines. In this video, 4 ESOP students (including myself) from Physics, Robotics, Biology and Computer Science answer your questions!
