summer research program epfl

Summer@EPFL

Applications are now open, applications are now closed.

Applications will open as late as a few weeks before the next deadline.

The next deadline is 1st December 2024 (23:39 AOE) for internships in summer 2025.

Before applying, please take the time to review the instructions and the frequently asked questions below.

What do you need to apply?

When you register on the application website, you will need to fill some information about yourself, choose up to three domains of scientific interest , and upload some documents. To view the available scientific domains, check the research pages of the School of Computer and Communication Sciences. You will need to upload a CV , all your university transcripts , and a letter of motivation in PDF (ideally on one page and anyway not longer than two pages). You should use the letter of motivation to describe your scientific interests and the reasons that made you apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

In case of doubt, please review carefully the following questions as we will not answer enquiries if your question is covered here.

I will complete my Master before this year summer break. Am I eligible for Summer@EPFL?

Unfortunately not. To be eligible, you must be still enrolled in a Bachelor or a Master programme at the time of the fellowship.

I am a PhD student. Is there any way to come to EPFL for a summer project?

Yes, certainly, but not through the Summer@EPFL programme. You need to organize your project yourself, and for that you may want to contact researchers or faculty directly. If you decide to do that, be sure to include enough detail on yourself and on your specific interests on the research activities of the lab. Vague and generic letters have very small chances of success.

Will you help with accommodation? Will I receive accommodation from EPFL?

In principle you will be in charge of the accommodation. Yet, when offered a fellowship, the administrative personnel will almost invariably suggest a list of places where to look for it (billboards, student residences, etc.) or they may even find and offer you a specific place to stay. Finding an accommodation is not very easy in Lausanne, but do not worry: it is never a critical problem for a fellowship. (You may also want to note that it is particularly difficult to find rooms in gender-segregated compounds, as very few or none are in Lausanne. Please understand that if you are offered some accommodation by our administrative personnel and you decide not to take it, you are most free to do so but then you will generally have to find one yourself, as the offer is very slim and we do not have the possibility of matching any specific preferences.)

Can I see the list of projects? Can I choose my project before applying?

There is no list of predefined projects and therefore there is no way to choose a project in advance. Projects are suggested by the faculty directly to admitted candidates and can be discussed directly to find the best match between your research interests and the faculty goals. You should choose carefully your interests on the application website, because this will be important information for the faculty in the selection process.

On the form, I cannot find exactly the name of my programme. What shall I do?

Use your own judgement to select the programme in the list which is closest to yours (e.g., use "communications" for a programme in "telecommunication and network engineering") or to identify the dominant aspect in combinations which do not appear in the list (e.g., either "communications" or "computer engineering", as you personally see more fit, for a programme in "electronic communications and computer engineering"). If none is close enough (e.g., a programme in "applied mathematics"), use "other".

On the form, shall I quote my Bachelor or my Master institution? And which GPA?

When you apply on the web, complete the form with the details of your current institution and programme (Master or Bachelor) when completing the fields "Current programme", " Current Institution", "Current Cumulative GPA", etc. If you have no Master GPA yet, write NA under "Current Cumulative GPA". Additionally, if you are currently enrolled in a Master programme, use the fields "Previous programme", "Previous institution", "Previous GPA", etc. to include your Bachelor data. In any case, upload all available transcripts , including Bachelor's if you are currently in a Master programme.

On the form, shall I mention the GPA in a specific format?

When you apply on the web, specify the cumulative GPA at the time of application exactly in the format provided by your school on your transcripts, without attempting to rescale it to 0-100 or 0-4 or adapt it to any specific system. Do not give the GPA of the last semesters only, nor the GPA of your major only, but use the cumulative GPA . If your school does not compute an official GPA, please simply compute an average of all your grades , ideally with grades weighted by the number of credits of the courses. If you come from the German system, do not worry: we do know that 1.0 is the best possible grade.

On the form, I am not sure which preferred professors to select. What shall I do?

When you apply on the web, you are asked to select up to three domains you would like to contribute to and up to three preferred professors you would like to collaborate with. Please, definitely do express your preference of domains but do not specify any professor if you are not sure or have no particular choice in mind. Not specifying a professor is not going to have any negative impact on your application but specifying one who is not active in the domain you are interested in might be damaging.

What documents shall I send with my application?

When you apply on the web, you receive a mail with a link to upload three documents: a CV, your transcripts, and a letter of motivation. Transcripts can be in any form your university provides them and should cover the whole of your academic career (Bachelor and, if applicable, Master so far). If you only have them in paper copy, please scan them. If you cannot obtain official transcripts on time or some key recent grades are missing, please send a PDF printout from the university website (but please be aware that unofficial transcripts may jeopardize your applications, if the faculty has doubts on their originality). If they are not in English, please send both the originals and a translation (no need for the translation to be official, you can do it yourself). The only format we support is PDF.

I have recommendation letters. Can I send them?

No, we do not need nor consider recommendation letters for this programme. Please refrain from uploading them and do not ask us addresses where your referents could send them. Note that uploading letters of reference could jeopardize your application.

Are students from other disciplines eligible for this programme?

No, this programme is only for the School of Computer and Communication Sciences. EPFL has other summer programmes, such as this one in the School of Life Sciences or this one in the School of Engineering. There is also this programme which is not restricted to any discipline but is open only to students of some partner institutions. If you are from a different discipline but with a strong interest and a provable record in the fields covered by this programme (e.g., courses, projects), feel free to apply but please discuss this clearly in the letter of motivation.

Are EPFL students eligible for this programme?

No, this programme is only for students from other institutions. EPFL has a special summer programme for EPFL students, called Summer in the Lab . Besides, EPFL students can usually inquire directly with faculty members for summer opportunities in their labs.

I am late, my school is on holidays, official transcripts take time to process, my latest grades will be known only a few days after the deadline. Can I have an additional delay to apply?

No, whatever the reason. After the exact deadline mentioned in the tables above, we usually leave the application website open to upload documents for some 24/48h more (no guarantee, though!). If you manage to apply because the website is still open, your application will be taken into account. If the application website is closed, we are sorry but it is too late and we cannot do anything for you. Please understand that we receive way too many applications to handle special exceptions and the selection schedule is too tight to accommodate delays.

How will I know if I am accepted for the programme?

Usually, if admitted to the programme after a first round of selection, you may receive an offer by a faculty member within approximately 4–6 weeks from the deadline. At the end of the selection process, unless you have been selected by a faculty member, you will receive a mail to inform you that the selection process is closed. Please do not mail and ask for the status of the application: again, please understand that we handle too many applications to enter any individual correspondence.

Shall I expect issues with the immigration visa?

If you are accepted in the programme, EPFL will inform you of the procedure to follow. Please read carefully the information you will receive and act promptly.

Summer EBT Programs: A Policy to Bridge Nutritional Gaps and Address Disparities

Recognizing that children need nutrition access when they are not in school, Summer EBT can be a tool to reduce health disparities. But the path forward is not clear.

On December 29, 2022, Congress passed a significant measure to permanently expand the Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (Summer EBT) program nationwide. This program provides essential grocery benefits during the summer months to children eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. This pivotal legislation highlights the profound impact of health services research on shaping policies that address child hunger and nutritional disparities. Rooted in a comprehensive body of scientific evidence, this decision demonstrates the effectiveness of the Summer EBT program in alleviating food insecurity. Furthermore, the legislative developments in Louisiana provide key insights into the complexities of policymaking. These developments illustrate how research can significantly influence policy formulation and drive meaningful changes in public health, as well as the challenges of applying evidence-based policies within a federalist system, where state-specific dynamics can complicate the uniform implementation of national programs.

Louisiana's Legislative Response to Summer EBT

The legislative narrative in Louisiana provides a compelling case study of the challenges and opportunities in leveraging health research to inform policy aimed at mitigating health disparities. The state's initial decision to opt out of the Summer EBT program, despite its proven benefits, sparked a significant debate on the role of policy in addressing the nutritional needs of vulnerable populations. This decision, driven by concerns over budget constraints and administrative capabilities, highlighted a gap between research evidence and policy action, underscoring the need for more targeted advocacy and research dissemination efforts to bridge this divide.

Representative Jason Hughes' (D) introduction of House Bill 18 in response to the state's opt-out represents a proactive legislative effort to ensure the implementation of evidence-based interventions to combat food insecurity. The bill not only sought to mandate state participation in the Summer EBT program but also highlighted the broader implications of food insecurity on health, psychological well-being, and societal violence, drawing directly on scientific research to justify the need for legislative action.

Lessons for Health Services Researchers

The legislative developments in Louisiana offer several key lessons for health services researchers:

• The Importance of Evidence-Based Advocacy : The case of Louisiana emphasizes the need for researchers to engage in evidence-based advocacy at all levels of government, translating their findings into actionable insights for policymakers. By effectively communicating the impact of interventions like the Summer EBT program on public health outcomes, researchers can play a pivotal role in shaping policy decisions.
• Bridging the Research-Policy Gap : Health services researchers are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between research evidence and policy action. By actively participating in the policy discourse, researchers can ensure that health disparities and the needs of underserved populations are adequately addressed in legislative agendas.
• The Role of Research in Legislative Debates : The introduction of House Bill 18 and the subsequent legislative debate underscore the value of research in informing legislative discussions on public health issues. Researchers should strive to make their work accessible and relevant to policymakers, highlighting the real-world implications of their findings.
• Advocating for Comprehensive Policy Solutions : The legislative response to the Summer EBT program in Louisiana illustrates the complexity of policy decisions affecting public health. Researchers should advocate for comprehensive policy solutions that address the root causes of health disparities, leveraging their expertise to guide the development of multifaceted interventions.

The legislative context surrounding the Summer EBT program in Louisiana offers critical insights for health services researchers into the complex interplay between research, policy, and public health outcomes. While it is not explicitly documented that advocacy directly led to the introduction of specific bills such as House Bill 18, the general consensus in the field supports the idea that sustained, evidence-based advocacy contributes significantly to raising awareness among policymakers about public health issues. By engaging in this form of advocacy, bridging the research-policy gap, and advocating for comprehensive solutions, health services researchers can significantly contribute to the development of policies that address nutritional disparities and improve the well-being of vulnerable populations. The case of Louisiana, therefore, serves as a potent reminder of the transformative potential of health services research in shaping public policy and underscores the importance of researchers' continued engagement in the policymaking process.

If you want to learn how to bridge the gap between research and communicating with policymakers, AcademyHealth offers a Communicating for Impact course. Sign up for updates on future offerings here .

Onrí Jay Benally receives 2024 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship

Doctoral student Onri Jay Benally is a 2024 recipient of the prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. Benally is currently pursuing his doctoral research under the guidance of Distinguished McKnight Professor and Robert F. Hartmann chair Jian-Ping Wang exploring the world of quantum computing and spintronic devices. 

A Navaho (Diné) tribesman and carpenter, Benally comes to us from the mountains of Red Valley and Oak Springs, Arizona. After graduating from tribal high school, he found himself building off-road electric vehicles at a Utah State University lab led by Professors Curtiz Frazier and Jared Barrett. Two years later, in 2017, he transferred to the University of Minnesota and accepted a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) through the NSF-funded Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at the University. During this time, he worked with Professor Vlad Pribiag (School of Physics and Astronomy) building nanoelectronic devices in the cleanroom for Majorana fermion research. The REU was Benally’s first brush with quantum technology exploration. He returned to the MRSEC REU in summer 2018 and this time he worked with Wang on micro and nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions for classical computer memory and logic applications. He earned his bachelor’s degree in multidisciplinary studies from the University in 2021. 

While Benally was working on his undergraduate degree, he earned an IBM certificate in quantum computation using Qiskit, and began hypothesizing how metallic-based spintronics and new architectures could be used to support the expansion of quantum supercomputing worldwide. The initial hypothesis motivated him to enter ECE’s doctoral program in fall 2022. 

Reflecting on his interest in quantum technology and his skills as a carpenter, Benally says, "Carpentry was my livelihood on the tribe before completing my undergraduate degree. It is a big part of who I am and has indirectly led to my success as a nanofabricator of spintronics and quantum chips." Benally shares that one of his first toys as a kid was a toy hammer. 

Benally’s research interests revolve around the engineering of quantum computing hardware and spintronic devices. An interdisciplinary area, his research involves the nanofabrication of ultrafast nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions, cryogenic magnetic random-access memory (cryo-MRAM), and hybrid spintronic quantum processing units (QPUs), systems that can form scalable, sustainable quantum hardware architectures. Under the guidance of Wang, Benally designs and fabricates these systems at the Minnesota Nano Center at the University. Benally addressed these new developments in his keynote speech at the Arizona State University-led Quantum Collaborative Summit this past fall in San Antonio, Texas. Over the upcoming summer, Benally will be a graduate intern with IBM Research in Yorktown Heights, New York. As a quantum hardware engineer, he will be working on cutting edge cryogenic electronics for large-scale superconducting quantum computers.

Benally has accepted the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and feels honored to start delivering on his proposed ideas on supporting quantum supercomputing through spintronics and new architectures. 

The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program helps “ensure the quality, vitality, and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States.” Learn about the program and eligibility requirements.

Summer 2024: Assess oxidative stress upon ‘Candidatus liberibacter solanacearum’ (Lso) infection in host plants

$1.5 million gift launches Kenan Galapagos program this fall

The William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust-funded fellowships will support graduate students and post-docs.

“Conducting science in the Galapagos is, of course, the dream for any biologist,” said Esteban Agudo, who will graduate with a doctorate in marine ecology from Carolina in 2024. Agudo spent six months on San Cristobal Island working on his dissertation at the Galapagos Science Center, a research facility co-founded and co-operated by UNC-Chapel Hill and Universidad San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador.  

Agudo described his stay at the center, the only university-affiliated research institution of its kind in the Galapagos archipelago, as an opportunity “to work in one of the most amazing natural laboratories in the world.”   

Now more students like Agudo will have the opportunity to study and conduct research in the Galapagos, a place that serves as a model for understanding similarly challenged environments around the world. The William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust awarded $1.5 million to the UNC Center for Galapagos Studies to create the Kenan Galapagos Fellows Program, which will support three graduate students per year for three years and one post-doctoral fellow per year for two years. The first graduate fellowships will begin in fall 2024.  

“This funding provides amazing opportunities for current and incoming graduate students and post-docs to conduct cutting-edge research, apply what they are learning in the classroom and lab to real-world problems, and impact communities locally, in the state and globally,” said Amanda Thompson, director of UNC Center for Galapagos Studies and co-director of GSC.  

The grant also supports expanding research capacity in areas such as clean oceans, biodiversity, ecosystem and human health. This means more funding for Galapagos research expeditions, research equipment and infrastructure, and staff assistance to collect and disseminate critical climate data to researchers around the globe.  

“For over a decade, the Galapagos Science Center has been a hub for exceptional scientists, conducting research that deepens our understanding of fragile ecosystems and communities and solutions needed to ensure their sustainability,” said Penny Gordon-Larsen, vice chancellor for research and the William R. Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor in nutrition at UNC-Chapel Hill. “This work in the Galapagos is directly translatable to the fragile ecosystems on the North Carolina coast and its barrier islands, and the support from the Kenan Charitable Trust will enable us to generate even more innovative solutions and amplify the positive impact for people and places, here and across the globe.”  

Since the Galapagos Science Center was founded in 2011, faculty and students have conducted over 140 research projects and have been cited in over 300 research publications. More than 600 students have engaged with the region through study abroad, research and education programs, developing 150-plus undergraduate, master’s and doctoral theses from their studies. More than 8,000 Galapagos community members have participated in outreach programs.  

“The grant from Kenan Charitable Trust will support the center’s equipment and infrastructure, which will allow us to host more researchers, develop better research and improve local livelihoods and ecosystem conservation,” said Carlos Mena, co-director of the Galapagos Science Center and geography professor at USFQ.  

Currently, researchers at the GSC are conducting joint studies around food and water insecurity in the Galapagos; creating a biobank of samples from across the islands to help with preservation and provide new opportunities for studies; running marine expeditions to protect marine biodiversity and understand climate variables; and engaging in work to understand these islands and challenged ecosystems around the world.  

The UNC Center for Galapagos Studies is accepting applications for fellowships starting in fall of 2024 through May 3. For more information about the Kenan Galapagos Fellows Program and current research underway at the GSC, visit galapagos.unc.edu .
