Nowadays, cities and territories have to face economic, environmental and social crises with multiple and complex dynamics that are replacing processes that were thought to be more predictable. The objective of the Seed Money Initiative has been and is to encourage and promote interdisciplinary collaboration and research among EPFL laboratories and to create new interdisciplinary knowledge at EPFL. During the Center’s first three years of activity (2017-2020), two calls have been successfully launched: the “Time Machine Prototype” and the “One Health” Calls.
