Located in the suburbs of Lausanne, EPFL is Europe’s most cosmopolitan technical university. It welcomes students, professors and collaborators of more than 120 nationalities. EPFL has both a Swiss and international vocation and focuses on three missions: teaching, research and innovation.
EPFL collaborates with an important network of partners, including other universities and colleges, secondary schools and gymnasiums, industry and the economy, political circles and the general public, with the aim of having a real impact on society.
Designed by the Japanese architectural firm SANAA and built on the campus of Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), The Rolex Learning Center functions as a laboratory for learning, a library, an event host and an international cultural hub for EPFL, open to both students and the public.
We aim to foster a new generation of life scientists with strong expertise in quantitative and analytical biology. Our primary mission is to offer a multi-disciplinary training to our students, providing them with the opportunity to study biology jointly with engineering, basic and computer sciences.
