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, our lab is actively seeking researchers, students, startups, and industry partners to collaborate with us. We are committed to supporting ambitious, high-agency individuals with hands-on guidance, access to industry partners, domain expertise from researchers, support for real-world validation, and a network of like-minded researchers and builders.
Lab Focus
- •Agentic AI in Real-World Environments
- •AI for Workflow and Process Automation
- •Multimodal LLMs (TSLMs & TSLAMs)
- •Evaluation Frameworks for Agentic AI
- •Agent Alignment and Controllability
- •User Discovery & Problem Validation
