18 March 2024 | École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has officially joined EuroTeQ, the education initiative funded by the European Commission and rooted in the EuroTech Universities Alliance. EPFL receives a grant funded by the Swiss Confederation in the European Universities programme. This funding runs in parallel to the call by the European Commission and allows EPFL to become an official associated partner to the EuroTeQ consortium.
The objectives of EuroTeQ are well aligned with EPFL’s strategic goals for the education of its more than 12,000 students. EPFL embraced the opportunities of massive open online courses (MOOCs) early on. Contributing to the virtual campus of EuroTeQ will allow to leverage EPFL’s experience with digital education. The EuroTeQ Collider will be an opportunity to share EPFL’s strong action on learning from making in complex and authentic projects with the partners and learn from the experiences in other universities.
EPFL is also excited to work on the EuroTeQ professional and lifelong learning portfolios. The EuroTeQ Academy will allow EPFL’s continuing education team to contribute to a common framework, share experiences from local implementation and learn from partners.
