Inclusive ParaWG featured on Swiss television SRF
SRF news reports in an article on the newly established ParaWG, which was developed with the assistance of RESC.
First inclusive ParaWG
In Switzerland’s first inclusive 'ParaWG'-flatshare, students from ETH Zurich live alongside people with spinal cord injuries. It is hoped that the students will draw on this experience to help make the world more accessible for disabled people.
RESC partners with Optohive
ETH Zurich’s Competence Centre for Rehabilitation Engineering and Science (RESC) is partnering with Optohive, a 2025 spin-off from ETH Zurich developing next-generation wearable brain imaging solutions. Optohive’s platform combines high-resolution fNIRS (functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) technology with AI-powered analytics to deliver objective, real-time brain monitoring—bridging the gap between research and clinical care.

Bridging Physical Barriers: Inclusion at the Nexus of Robotics, Architecture, and Art
How can technology, design, and the arts come together to create spaces and systems that are truly inclusive? This interdisciplinary podium discussion moderated by 2025 Thomas Mann Fellow Robert Riener explores how we can bridge not only physical barriers, but also disciplinary divides—uniting perspectives from robotics, architecture, rehabilitation, and performance to imagine new pathways toward accessibility and inclusion.
Annual Report 2024
Last year's highlights include funding research projects to enhance rehabilitation technologies, involvement in a national neurorehabilitation project, and developing new educational formats. We deeply appreciate our partners, collaborators, and the RESC community for their unwavering support. Together, we are advancing the field, making a lasting difference in many lives.
