The 70 graduates of the 2008 Executive Program assembled this afternoon to receive their diplomas, and to learn who had won this year's award for the best diploma thesis.
Dr Bruderer gave an erudite presentation on the importance of trust in banking based on his personal experiences before launching into a sure-footed description of interdisciplinary research, conducted by leading economist Ernst Fehr, on the neurobiological basis of trusting behaviour.
The Executive Program Alumni Prize went to Credit Suisse computer science expert René Keller for his research "Web 2.0 in Private Banking: The impact of Internet services on the client advisory process".
A graduate of the ETH computer science department, René has held various IT management positions and currently heads CS's IT Core Banking Solutions division. Last year, the Alumni prize went to Dr Haibo Wunderli-Ye for her research on wealth management in China.
