An evening to inspire, discover and celebrate
Since 2007, the Durabilis Prize has been highlighting student dissertations and projects that offer concrete, original or inspiring solutions to major sustainability issues.
Join us for a lively and accessible ceremony and meet the five 2025 winners who will present their work: innovative analyses, tools to encourage ecological transition, local solutions to global challenges... A diversity of perspectives that illustrates the richness of the research carried out at Unil and EPFL.
Registration is free but mandatory: https://events.unil.ch/register/630/1121
To liven up the evening, The Catalyst, a scientific entertainment collective, will present a scientific improvisational theatre show to bring a creative touch to the theme of ecological transition. It is an original way to pay tribute to research by combining humour, science and imagination.
An apéro is offered at the end of the ceremony !
Celebrating excellence
We congratulate the five winners for the quality and inventiveness of their work, which we look forward to discovering:
The evening promises to be inspiring and convivial: come and listen to young researchers present their high-impact work and discuss their next steps. And to continue the discussion, a drinks reception awaits you: the perfect opportunity to meet the community committed to socio-ecological transformation within the two Lausanne institutions.
