EDIC Open House

Schedule

Times are in Central European Standard Time

Monday, March 20, 2023 ¦ Tuesday, March 21, 2023

Welcome to EPFL!

On behalf of the Doctoral Program in Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL, congratulations!

Our Open House for admitted EDIC fellowship students will run for two days, from Monday, March 20 to Tuesday, March 21, 2023.

We have 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 are a great opportunity for you to learn more about the research we do, as well as ask all the questions you have about PhD student life at EPFL and in Lausanne.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Michael Kapralov and Martin Jaggi, 2023 EDIC Open House Chairs
