There’s always a reason to smile !

It’s December already and we’re stacking up reasons to celebrate. There’s no doubt, it’s been a tough year and plenty of challenges await us in 2021. But, as it draws to a close, we can head into the last stretch, knowing we’ve made our mark.
There is reward in working to make sense of a chaotic and ever-changing world, and while the impact of COVID-19 has been less than ideal, there’s always a reason to smile.

A word from the director

"Obviously, nobody expected the arrival of the Covid virus and the effects on our development, but on the other side, it pushed us to adapt and create innovative ways of online teaching and learning.
Nevertheless, our research continued to bring excellent results for all scientific departments.

The award of a new ERC to EURECOM for Marios Kountouris' SONATA project reinforces this scientific excellence by placing our researchers among the top research leaders in Europe !

We are now starting a new year, with the desire to consolidate some of EURECOM’s major projects and start new ones. The most challenging and important project we have worked on for many years is our own engineering degree, which we will implement as from 2021. Our research will continue to exploit new horizons with many projects helping our society to face challenges ahead.
Thank you all for your support during this very special and intense year!"

Ulrich Finger, Director

Teaching activity

online classes, student life, international relationship

EURECOM is one of the few schools that offers its entire curriculum in a hybrid format.
Synchronous or asynchronous online courses, thanks to the Mediaserver system and its dedicated channels for each course of study.

Student life

KNIT, a new platform for student networking and socialising online

A few months ago, when I was stuck at home, I noticed that online events don't quite work for socialising. It was about the tools. You can't mingle, you can't approach people at the bar and start talking. And if there are too many people in the video call, most either go quiet or everyone is interrupting each other. In real life, in a large room, you'd see many conversations happening simultaneously in small groups of 2-5. People organically switch between those small groups as they please.
Thus, an idea was born. We sat down and started coming up with solutions of how to make this happen for online events. We knew Covid wouldn't be over in a week or two.
Now EURECOM students successfully used it to enable meaningful interactions between people during online events.
