PolyDoc Apéros
PolyDoc organizes monthly gatherings around some drinks and food, generously supported by the EPFL Doctoral School.
It is a great opportunity to gather the PhD community around some snacks and drinks, irrespective of faculty origin. Take advantage of this event and join us for the next apéro!
More information on the date and place of the next apéro is provided directly in our memento, integrated on our home webpage and on our Facebook page. We also send an email out to all PhDs announcing every apéro.
