Initiatives

An educational tool for understanding AI through the lens of sustainability.

The Lighthouse initiative aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the field of educational technology. By bringing together Swiss EdTech startups, schools, and academic institutions, it allows for the testing, validation, and improvement of EdTech tools through research-based pilot studies. This collaborative approach enables schools to access innovative educational solutions, while startups receive valuable feedback to refine their tools, all within a rigorous, evidence-oriented framework.

In order to strengthen and extend EPFL’s contribution to the digital transformation of education, the Center LEARN has joined the partnership between the Canton of Bern’s Department of Education and Culture and five universities to form BeLEARN: a competence center whose objective is to advance digital education through a translational approach.

Interactive simulations allowing students to conduct experiments online and explore concepts safely.

100% hosted in Switzerland, the Swiss MOOC Service was built to serve public institutions and allow easy distribution of MOOCs.

Bring together national and international partners around the missions of EPFL, support our current and future Bachelor, Master, and PhD students in their choices and ambitions, ensure good visibility of the programs offered by the School, and act proactively to ensure a smooth transition from secondary education to EPFL.
