Initiatives to support EPFL students before the winter exams

After booking a time slot, EPFL's environmental sciences and engineering students manage to meet in small committees on campus and work together. Alain Herzog - EPFL students are preparing for a second round of exams under coronavirus conditions. It's not easy to stay motivated given the challenges of distance learning, lack of social contact and difficulties in maintaining study habits. But help is available. EPFL is committed to supporting its students, and a range of initiatives have been rolled out to enable everyone to have a stress-free as possible end of the semester. As the season's first snow fell on Lausanne, a few dozen hardy students gathered in front of food trucks on the EPFL campus. With just a month to go before the exam period, a number have come to campus to study - after booking a time slot ahead of time - either alone or in small groups.
