Morning lectures

Every year, the students’ association “La Parenthèse” organises a morning in which students can meet a well-known figure or learn about a topical issue in a lecture followed by questions.

Students prepare for this event in class by studying works, achievements, missions, issues, etc. linked to this subject.

Recent speakers include Mr Pascal Couchepin (former President of the Swiss Confederation), Mr Bertrand Piccard and Mr André Borschberg (founders of Solar Impulse), Mr Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt (winner of the Grand Prix du Théâtre from the Académie Française) or Mr Ernesto Bertarelli (1984 alumni, winner of the America’s Cup with Alinghi in 2003 and 2007), who shared their experiences with our students.
