Welcoming Events
Every year, EPIC is involved in organizing fun activities during the open house and welcome weeks for new PhD students. Our goal is for the new students to get to know their senior colleagues across different labs, to discover the best parts of Lausanne and surroundings and to foster a friendly and welcoming community.
Past activites included:
- Tours to surroundings of Lausanne
- Drinks in our favorite bar in Lausanne
- Barbecue party on campus
- Apéro by the lake
- Campus tour: discover the best places for PhD students on campus
Hiking Trips
One of the best parts of living in Lausanne is that Switzerland’s beautiful nature is so easy to reach! EPIC organizes hiking trips for all EDIC PhD students who would like to enjoy this together. If you would like to take your colleagues to somewhere in particular, get in touch with us and we can help organizing a trip!
