We hold a monthly symposium every third Friday of the month at 15.00 CET in room SV1717.
In this symposium, PoLS students, postdocs and PIs are welcome to show their new work, discuss new ideas, present preliminary data, or discuss classical/landmark work. Internal presentations have a maximum duration of 15 minutes. Invited speakers give 30-minute talks. Suggestions for external speakers, including students and postdocs from other institutions, are always welcome. Substantial time is available for questions after each talk, and there are breaks with some food and drinks to foster informal discussions.
To volunteer, or to suggest a speaker, please contact Julia.
When there is a hybrid mode, the Zoom link is https://epfl.zoom.us/j/87013205777
You can watch or re-watch some of the presentations on our two SwitchTube channels. One is open to the public, while the other one is only for EPFL members (speakers’ choice):
