As of October 1, 2022, the European Commission has approved the University of Lausanne's request to become a partner member of the CIVIS alliance of universities.

 

The CIVIS Alliance has a lot to gain from UNIL's arrival. With more than 3600 full-time equivalent staff and over 17000 students of almost 130 nationalities, Lausanne is a top-level player in the Swiss higher education landscape. The University of Lausanne, Amphimax, has roots stretching back to 1537 and has grown into a major teaching and research institution with important strengths in areas including oncology, forensic science, digital humanities and sports sciences.
