Covid-19 is urging all us to think differently and be creative. A summary of useful initiatives that have been launched within and for both the USI community and the public.

Share your experience of online study through #USIeLearning

USI invites students, academics and staff to share photographs and videos about the learning, teaching and working experience in distance mode. The best ones will be selected at the end of each week. Those who have published the best posts will receive USI gadgets, by mail, at home. More infomation: https://www.usi.ch/en/feeds/13072
