Futures
we create
A world where disruptive tech and science
empower all beings, nature, and society to thrive
2026 SITE OPENING
Starting 2023 with Co-Creation Projects
Building desirable futures means solving complex challenges
society is facing
The way we work together today, does not solve challenges of tomorrow. We need to re-invent the way we think, work and decide.
Pace and complexity are increasing in all areas. We need to bring together diverse perspectives to create meaningful solutions.
EPFL research can have even more positive impact on society. We need to bridge the gap between academia and commercialization.
