Internationalising projects

We encourage project leaders to consider synergies with our international partners, particularly within the framework of the CIVIS Alliance.

The aim is to enable project leaders to develop complementary activities in order to build and activate an international network and activities with it. These opportunities will enable us to capitalise on the expertise of our partner universities and strengthen UNIL. Thanks to the synergies between CIVIS and Interface, you will also be able to benefit from special support in setting up this network, thanks to Christèle Aubry, project manager for CIVIS at UNIL.
