Having left behind the December snow in Switzerland, we – the six participants in the Engineers in Residence program – have returned to the sunny skies and greenery of our homeland, Tanzania. We brought with us new toolkits of engineering and business skills, and even stronger ambitions to have an impact on the provision of healthcare in our country.

My first internship experience was unique and amazing: I had the chance to build new skills, learn from two great teams, and discover Switzerland! And I completed an in-depth report on the context on gender violence – who knows, my work may eventually help researchers at EPFL develop tools to mitigate gender-based violence.
EPFL and The Geneva Graduate Institute (formerly IHEID) have signed an agreement to create the Swiss PeaceTech Alliance, which will bring together complementary knowledge needed to build capacity internationally in the field of PeaceTech. The partners are very proud to further announce that the Geneva Peacebuilding Platform (GPP) has also decided to join the alliance.
