The Mental Load – A Heavy Burden to Bear

To celebrate March 8, 2023, the Office of Equal Opportunity and its partners are proposing a week of events and activities that highlight the mental burden that sometimes interferes with life on campus. Conferences, round table discussions, an exhibition, a sign-making workshop or a treasure hunt with prizes to be won: a rich and original program spread over four days and open to the entire EPFL community.
