Guided tours of the Discovery Learning Labs and MED building

The Discovery Learning Labs will open their doors to the public, giving you an inside view of this new hands-on approach to teaching and cross-disciplinary teamwork. The Labs, located inside the MED building, are grouped by subject and give students a unique opportunity to work on projects related not only to their own sections, but also – and above all – to the many other disciplines at EPFL. Here they learn the value of collaborating with peers from a variety of backgrounds.

Visitors to the MED building will also have a chance to see how the building itself is used for research purposes and how connectivity is set to revolutionize distance learning. Already a pioneer in the teaching of engineering and computer science and in applying technology across several fields, EPFL similarly strives to be at the forefront of new teaching methods and of transferring knowledge that can be of direct practical benefit.
