To access event venues (rooms and campus buildings that are not freely accessible) and technical equipment—particularly to activate the room systems and lighting and/or access the projector remote control—an “Trousseau Event” (Events Key set) must be borrowed from Mediacom Events (MEV).
Once MEV has activated your access rights following the venue reservation, you will be able to collect and return the “Events Key Set” using the key cabinet.
You can check the standard access rights linked to your Camipro card at any time via https://mycamipro.epfl.ch/ by selecting “Access rights”.
