About

The Vice Presidency for Human Development (VPH) manages HR for our faculty members, researchers, and administrative and technical staff. It helps these individuals develop their skills, advance in their careers and maintain a healthy work-life balance. The VPH also ensures compliance with HR laws and regulations.

When it comes to hiring, the VPH works closely with the School’s presidency, vice presidencies, schools, colleges and other departments and offices to find and promote the right people. And the VPH supports initiatives in the areas of employee development, equal opportunity, respect, mental health and mobility. It has the decision-making authority needed to carry out its duties effectively.

EPFL created the Vice Presidency for Human Development in order to bolster its commitment to meeting our community’s diverse needs. We will put people at the center of our work, seeking to provide them with a healthy, stimulating and inclusive environment. We want every single member of our community to feel valued and to be able to fully contribute to our School’s mission. Our efforts will be aimed at managing human resources fairly by promoting well-being, equal opportunity and skills and career development, among other things. I’m looking forward to getting started!
