The Research and Doctoral Awards Ceremony 2025 will take place on Monday, October 27 at the Forum Rolex in Lausanne.

During this annual event, EPFL presented the Research and Doctorate Awards to the laureates in recognition of their outstanding research work and celebrated all doctoral candidates who have completed their thesis within the year. This celebration provided a unique opportunity for graduates to gather with their fellows, faculty members, friends, and family to commemorate their incredible achievements.

Doctoral Awards

The prize is awarded by EPFL each year to two doctoral graduates who have completed a thesis that is particularly remarkable for its originality, the impact of the results (publication(s) in one or more international journals) and the presentation of the work.

Research Awards

These prizes are awarded by external donors to doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers and independent researchers in recognition of their exceptional research work in various fields.

ℹ️ Information

The program for the 2025 Research and Doctoral Awards ceremony will be published shortly.

The EPFL campus can easily be accessed by public transport. We strongly encourage you to prioritise this means of travelling, as parking spaces are limited.
