The Legal Affairs unit at EPFL provides high-quality legal expertise to support the management in strategic projects, compliance analysis, agreement facilitation, risk management, and legal awareness initiatives. They offer services such as publishing applicable laws, developing new directives, and implementing tools like electronic signatures. The unit coordinates a legal network, including those from the Academic Affairs Vice Presidency, to provide legal support for activities related to education, research, and technology transfer. Additionally, an independent Data Protection Advisor ensures EPFL's compliance with data protection regulations, informs and sensitizes staff on data obligations, and serves as a point of contact for data subjects. The unit emphasizes legal information, preventive measures, and objective advice to help EPFL's academic community achieve their teaching, research, and technology transfer goals.
