Institute of Territorial Engineering (INSIT) at the School of Engineering and Management of the Canton of Vaud

At INSIT, territorial engineering is understood as the integration of techniques, knowledge, and expertise aimed at enhancing quality of life, improving environmental conditions, and increasing economic efficiency in the management of territories.

The institute focuses its expertise on two key challenges:

1. The relationship between territories and climate change
2. The digital transformation of territorial engineering professions

One strategic priority is the observation and modeling of natural hazards to track their evolution and impact under the influence of climate change.
