We Enable the Next Generation of AI Talent
The Agentic Systems Lab at the Chair of Information Management, ETH Zürich, was established to design, develop, and evaluate agentic AI systems in real-world environments.
Founded in July 2025, the lab is now actively seeking students, startups, and industry partners to collaborate with us. We are committed to supporting ambitious, high-agency students by connecting them with a network of like-minded builders. Our lab provides hands-on guidance, access to industry partners, domain expertise from researchers, and support for real-world validation.
Lab Focus
- •Agentic AI in Real-World Environments
- •AI for Workflow and Process Automation
- •Generative AI Development Tools
- •Evaluation Frameworks for Agentic AI
- •Agent Alignment and Controllability
