- Welcome!
Our Open House for admitted EDIC fellowship students run for two days, from Tuesday, March 17 to Wednesday, March 18, 2026.
We planned a large number of short talks and group events, as well as plenty of opportunities for one-on-one meetings with IC faculty and students. These meetings were a great opportunity for attendees to learn more about the research we do, as well as ask all the questions about PhD student life at EPFL and in Lausanne.
We are looking forward to meeting you in September!
