Research at EPFL

Research at EPFL has never been better. Whether in the areas of environment, health, civil engineering or information technology, the creativity and rigor of our scientists is astounding. Equally impressive are collaborations between researchers in all areas, combining their expertise to provide solutions to practical problems. EPFL has long advocated interdisciplinarity.

We know that the major issues and greatest problems of our times will only be solved when biologists, computer scientists, civil engineers, and mathematicians can speak the same language and work toward a common goal.

A flexible format is offered to students enabling them to choose between a three, four or six month lasting internship in research laboratories from all five schools of EPFL, starting in May at the earliest every year.
