EDIC Open House

Save the date!

Our Open House for admitted EDIC fellowship students will run for two days, from Tuesday, March 26 to Wednesday, March 27, 2024.

We will offer 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 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 look forward to seeing you soon!
