UNIL, IMD and EPFL team up on sustainable management
Teaching
EPFL
The Enterprise for Society Center (E4S) will train future managers to meet the challenges of sustainability and social responsibility, in part by leveraging the opportunities presented by digital technology. The aim of E4S – a joint initiative between University of Lausanne (UNIL), International Institute for Management Development (IMD) and EPFL – will be to inspire the development of a sustainable, inclusive economic system. The first step will be the launch of a joint Master’s program.
Focus on Teaching: win-win for master’s students and supervisors
Teaching
Eawag
Besides research and consultancy, teaching is the third major aspect of Eawag’s work. Around 140 master’s students are supervised every year at the Institute, some of whom are directly involved in research projects. This integration of teaching and learning, along with the flat hierarchies and Eawag’s interdisciplinary culture together create a unique environment that is greatly valued by students and supervisors alike, and which results again and again in outstanding master’s dissertations.
