Contributing a presentation in this series is a graduation requirement for EDBB students: schedule your (Season Eleven: 2025-2026) talk now!
- Monthly (first Friday of the month – with the occasional exception…), but skipping August-September
- Where and when? EPFL seminar room SV1717 or AI 1 153 | 17h00 (sharp)
- Broadcasting on Zoom as well (meant mainly for students on remote campuses, the aim being that speakers present to flesh’n’blood human beings before them in the room…)

- Presentation time 25′ (plus 5′ Q&A)
