Thank you for joining us !
It was a pleasure to welcome you to the EPFL and UNIL campuses for the Health Days, held from Monday, September 29 to Friday, October 10.
Organized by EPFL, le Service Sport Santé UNIL+EPFL, and the University of Lausanne, this 2025 event invited participants to explore their emotions and cultivate kindness—toward themselves and others. It also encouraged reflection on academic culture, leadership approaches, and practical tools to support both individual and collective well-being in a demanding environment. After all, taking care of our physical and mental health can be challenging in today’s fast-paced society filled with constant demands.
The Health Village welcomed visitors with information booths, interactive experiences, and free health assessments. Throughout the two weeks, participants could also enjoy 20-minute fitness sessions and an introduction to mindfulness meditation.
Lectures and roundtables explored topics such as innovation in mental health, well-being in academia, sleep, the impact of a hyperconnected world, and the subtle art of decision-making. Autism was also addressed to challenge clichés and break down misconceptions. In parallel, workshops offered practical tools to regulate emotions, better understand and manage stress, and boost self-confidence.
