24.04.2024 - Spring cleaning at ETHIS design

From May 6, 2024, the ETHIS portal will welcome you in a modern and brighter color design. The familiar but somewhat old-fashioned light blue will be replaced predominantly by white and grey, the variety of colors will be reduced overall and the layout will be slightly cleaned up. As a result, ETHIS will appear brighter and clearer. From a functional point of view, nothing will change for you: user guidance, processes, input fields, selection options, texts and evaluations will remain unchanged.

This is the first step towards modernizing the ETHIS website. The navigation update will follow in 2025. Users will then navigate in a modern tile design and benefit from new search functions and more personalization options. ETHIS will also be more flexible for display on mobile devices such as tablets or smartphones thanks to responsive web design. However, the handling of processes and evaluations will remain unchanged.
