The Institute of Cartography at ETH Zurich, founded in 1925 by Eduard Imhof, is the oldest academic institute in this domain world-wide.

The institute developed a long tradition in cartographic relief representation, topographic and thematic cartography, map design and atlas cartography (school atlases, national atlases). These domains are still considered the main fields of application, but adapted to new demands, media and technologies. It is the intention to continue this tradition of striving for high quality maps also under the promising prospects of digital cartography.
