Vice Presidency for Academic Affairs (VPA)

Introduction

The Vice Presidency for Academic Affairs (VPA) oversees our School’s efforts in its core missions of education and research. This approach of bringing together EPFL’s educational and research activities under a single division is designed to forge stronger ties among students, researchers and staff members.

The goals are to encourage scientific and technological advancements that respond to today’s societal challenges and to adopt best practices in university-level teaching.

The VPA supports ground-breaking projects that leverage our School’s knowledge, draw on cross-disciplinary skills and coordinate the efforts of EPFL’s many research institutes and R&D centers.
