© 2022 EPFL - How can EPFL students get a practical and deep understanding of their field of studies? How can we strengthen synergies between education and research? The Summer in the Lab internship program represents the School's first official framework to address these challenges beyond the academic calendar. With the aim to develop the research culture at EPFL, the Vice Presidency for Academic Affairs (VPA) launched this year a program called Summer in the Lab . Implemented and managed by the School's Education Outreach Department (SPE), this project encourages practical learning from the beginning of the Bachelor's. The Summer in the Lab program is designed for EPFL students who wish to explore or confirm their interest for research. The objective of these two-months immersions over the summer within one of the EPFL laboratories, is to offer interns the experience of a stimulating research environment. In addition, they can put their polytechnical knowledge into practice and so reinforce their career prospects in Switzerland and internationally. According to Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Outreach, participants can gain a much more in-depth vision of their studies in order to make informed decisions for their future academic and professional path.
