How should teaching and learning at EPFL evolve to prepare students for the challenges of tomorrow?

Join us for a community event presenting the first outcomes of the s’EPanouir-FLourish four task forces, that will take place on Wednesday 9th of December from 12h30-14h30. 
Since room capacity is limited, attendance will be first-come first-served. For logistical reasons, we kindly ask you to register via the following link:

The four task forces within the s’EPanouir–FLourish initiative are exploring ways to strengthen teaching and learning in EPFL's Bachelor programmes. Their work addresses four themes: meaningful lectures, problem-solving in a world of generative AI, assessment for depth and creativity, and learning through a major complex project.
So far, each task force has involved a relatively small group of teachers and students. Now, we want to broaden the conversation and hear from the wider EPFL community before ideas take shape.
We warmly invite you to join the Knowledge Carousel, a 90-minute co-design event open to the entire EPFL community. Through an interactive carousel of four stations, you will have the opportunity to discover what each task force is exploring, react to emerging ideas, share examples from your own teaching and learning experiences, and raise questions or concerns.

What to expect

12:30 –13:00 Lunch
13:00 –13:15 Welcome and a short introduction to the co-design phase
13:15 –13:30 Short presentations of the task forces
13:30 –14:15 Interactive station rotations
14:15 –14:25 Key takeaways
14:25 –14:30 Wrap-up, next steps and thank you

Four themes, one shared ambition
  1. Lecturing for meaningful understanding
  2. Problem-solving exercises in a world of AI
  3. Assessment for depth and creativity
  4. Projects for engaging with complexity
The task forces benefit from hearing perspectives beyond their immediate working groups. Your experiences and ideas can help challenge assumptions, identify overlooked opportunities and make emerging proposals more relevant to the diversity of EPFL programmes and learning environments.
Whether you are a student, teacher or colleague interested in the future of education at EPFL, your perspective matters.

No preparation is needed. Just bring your experience, your curiosity and your honest perspectives.
Please register by 3 December 2026
