EPFL

The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne is a leadingedge institution of global repute. Situated on the shores of the lake on the university campus, which houses over 17,000 students and 5,000 researchers, the EPFL is a small town of entirely south-facing terraces.

There is a perpetual buzz about the site, which hosts a new place of learning information and life, the Rolex Learning Center, whose architecture is an outstanding feat of technology, and a 4-star hotel with 154 rooms. The Institute is also working hard on the construction of the biggest solar park in Switzerland. It is possible to enjoy the benefits of this unique setting for the organisation of seminars, conferences and meetings by hiring rooms with seating capacity for up to 600 people. These places are equipped with the high-tech facilities in which the Institute specialises, and are available when no classes are being held.
