UNIL in brief
The challenges raised by multiple societal transitions, the emergence of new knowledge and the occurrence of multiple crises, as well as new ways of disseminating and using knowledge, all call into question the role and organisation of universities in our society.
Against this background, UNIL’s mission is to offer cutting-edge life choices and educational and career paths that are intellectually, socially and personally transformative.
UNIL urges its entire community and alumni to use their knowledge to advance society.
We encourage and support students, staff, faculty and alumni to think collectively about how their research, study and professional lives will benefit their region, the world and humanity.
As a result, we will be equipped to inspire and support major societal changes that will make our societies more environmentally, economically, socially and culturally secure, equitable and stable.
With “le savoir vivant” (“living knowledge”) – its institutional motto – and the development of collective intelligence, UNIL asserts that knowledge is never static and that it benefits the common good. What we take for granted must be constantly challenged by a continuously updated research programme in order to grasp increasingly complex realities.
