Work with us
Be stimulated by our ecosystem and seize opportunities.
Navigating through the EPFL ecosystem is inspiring but complex.
We will put you in touch with the right EPFL expert, help you have access to state of the art research and be part of a vibrant ecosystem in which startups, SMEs, large enterprises, students and researchers mix naturally.
Our planet’s resources are under enormous pressure. A swelling global population coupled with geopolitical and social tensions is fueling climate change, whittling away biodiversity and challenging modern lifestyles […] We must act now to redesign the world’s food systems – how we produce, process, ship and buy the food we eat – to make them more ecologically responsible.
