EtuRESCIF ‒ IDM ‐ EPFL

Network of French-speaking universities around the world

EtuRESCIF aims to accelerate sustainable development through technology, innovation and entrepreneurship. Thus, the association has two main activities: to financially support students who go on high-level internships, and to organize an international competition on sustainable development. The subsidized internships must be in the fields of water, energy, nutrition, urban planning, health or entrepreneurship.

Your project must respond to an issue related to sustainable development. For example, global warming/disruption, pollution in general (e.g. eutrophication, acidification of different environments), loss of biodiversity, or resource management.
