The Lausanne Palace & Spa, a legend in its own time. The story of the Lausanne Palace begins in the 'Belle Epoque', a euphoric time for hotels. It was inaugurated on June 19th 1915 and ever since has been closely linked to Lausanne, being an integral part of the city's life. Much more than a hotel, the Lausanne Palace is an institution, a meeting place for the citizens of Lausanne as well as for international high society. It is not by chance alone that since 1980 the Presidents of the International Olympic Committee have taken up residence there.
EPFL is the research home of the beginning of the modern computer mouse, of the ambitious Blue Brain Project, and of innovative ideas towards sustainable development. Offering tuition at all levels from undergraduate to PhD, it is one of the world′s fastest growing campuses. It is currently ranked alongside Cambridge as the top university in Europe in the category of engineering, technology and computer sciences according to the Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). Situated on a single campus overlooking the shores of Lake Geneva at Lausanne, Switzerland, with extraordinary views of the Alps, EPFL accommodates 11,000 people. These include 7,000 students as well as professors, over 4,000 researchers and other faculty members, plus administrative staff and a number of entrepreneurs running small start-up science and technology businesses located on the campus.
