ENAC-IT4R
We serve as a Data Help Desk, providing or connecting to resources for data management, data science and scientific valorization in addition to ENAC-IT’s Support. Plus, we offer Advanced services tailored to labs’ needs, to support throughout data lifecycle, e.g., from building data acquisition pipelines to deploying custom data visualization interfaces (Advanced services are eligible through SNSF funding; our costs follow the U1 tarification system)

Featured projects
Visual Navigation Machine Learning Competition
No GPS, no problem !Today drones and other aerial autonomous systems for navigation and control depend heavily on the robustness of GNSS reception for their position estimation. The objective of this competition is to ask users around the world to contribute to TOPO’s research by building and training a model that can be used to (…)
Hybrid Timber-stone Structures fabrication
Traditional hybrid stone-timber structures are part of an ancient craftsmanship heritage which is labor-intensive and requires qualified workers. Nevertheless, these dry and glue-free construction systems using locally available materials have all the qualities defined today as sustainable: reuse of mineral waste, low embodied energy, low embodied water content, demountable, cement-free; and moreover earthquake-resistant. Therefore, the (…)
Affective mapping in Geneva
This project, a collaboration betweenALICE (Atelier de la Conception de l’Espace) and LASIG (Laboratory ofGeographic Information Systems), will address climate change from theperspective oflandscape infrastructureasa nature-based solution capable of linking urban connectivity, activemobility and psychophysical health andwellbeing. Urban landscape has akey infrastructural role, supporting and making possible differentpracticesand behaviors, and can thus be instrumentalized to (…)
