About the AVP-CP
AVP-CP mission is to coordinate and promote the activity of research centres and technology platforms at EPFL, to ensure excellence in knowledge creation and the sharing of competencies and resources.
Centers and platforms boost synergies and regroup resources to support EPFL’s research, teaching and innovation missions go beyond state of the art
Services & Units
Centers create networks, collaborations and synergies between researchers and students around state-of-the-art scientific subjects. They build bridges between researchers at EPFL and other academic institutions, foster innovation and contribute to advance and share knowledge on specific themes within and beyond the academic world.
The Associate Vice Presidency for Centers and Platforms (AVP-CP) has issued new regulations aimed at achieving consistency in the way EPFL’s centers operate and are governed.
