Institutional Approach

Beginning in 2024, EPFL will debut it's 'Teach4Sustainability' initiative. All students will be required to take a core course on sustainability, each individual faculty will offer specific courses on sustainability tailored to specific disciplines, and all courses will be audited to see how sustainability content can be added. This concept was co-developed between governance, faculty and students over a period of 2 years.
