University of Lausanne

The University of Lausanne (UNIL) carries out cutting-edge research in laboratories equipped with the latest technologies and staffed by internationally renowned teams – with one Nobel Prize winner in 2017.

It offers a broad range of skills in areas such as human sciences, social sciences, psychology, biology, medicine, economics, law, criminal science, public policy, geoscience, environmental science and religious science.

Alongside its commitment to providing students with a top-notch education, UNIL has decided to promote “living knowledge” by embracing a broad array of audiences and communities.

Two entities at the University of Lausanne are involved in sports: UNIL’s Institute of Sports Science (ISSUL) is the only specialized sports education and research institute in French-speaking Switzerland and has become a leading international center for excellence in sports science; and UNIL Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Sport brings together more tan 70 members  who are active in three main areas of sport-related research: physical activity and health, sustainability in sport, and globalisation and governance of sport.
