The collective employs sensory cartography, creates drawings and texts, and composes music. On June 12 and 13, 2026, the Lake Geneva Bioregional Assemblies took place at the Vidy Theater, during which Hydromondes brought together a myriad of Franco-Swiss collectives to create a cross-border community dedicated to the care of the waters.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe collaboration between the collective and <a href=\"http://applicationspub.unil.ch/interpub/noauth/php/Un/UnPers.php?PerNum=1277309&LanCode=37\">Nathalia Capellini,</a> a historian at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) and instructor in the EPFL’s SHS program, gave rise to the performance *Le Léman Cyborg*, presented on May 7, 2026, as part of the *Culturelles de printemps* festival. Nathalia Capellini’s course titled “Infrastructures” had fueled the project. This collaboration between the collective and the academic community will therefore continue for the Culturelles in October 2026, with a more participatory format—somewhere between an artistic presentation and a town hall meeting—in a playful atmosphere.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>>>> Free admission; <a href=\"http://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ffSBMqP21Y\">light refreshments provided upon registration</a></strong></div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW196505929\"> \r\n<figure class=\"image\"><a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/\"><img alt=\"Programme complet des Culturelles\" height=\"182\" src=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/LES_CULTURELLES_1920x1080_programme_complet.png\" width=\"600\"></a>\r\n\r\n<figcaption>© 2026 EPFL, Laura Persat</figcaption>\r\n</figure>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-03T16:58:47", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-29T18:00:01", "link_label": "Inscription à la collation", "link_url": "https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ffSBMqP21Y", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Hall MED", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==MED%200%2094.22", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Collectif <a href=\"https://hydromondes.org/\">Hydromondes</a> ; Marin Schaffner, ethnologue ; Jeanne Mermet, ingénieure ; Gabriel Cotte, hydrologue et Clémence Mathieu, dessinatrice ", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/\">Festival Les Culturelles</a> (Pôle Culture VPI)", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/veronique.mauron\">Véronique Mauron Layaz</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Léman, corps aquatique, performance", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121705/", "category": { "id": 9, "code": "MANIF", "fr_label": "Événements festifs et culturels", "en_label": "Cultural events", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/2/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/21/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/79/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 70490, "title": "Manager : Pilotez les objectifs et accompagnez la progression de vos équipes", "slug": "manager-pilotez-les-objectifs-et-accompagnez-la--5", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/manager-pilotez-les-objectifs-et-accompagnez-la--5", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31940/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31940/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31940/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-12-07", "end_date": "2026-12-07", "start_time": "09:00:00", "end_time": "17:00:00", "description": "<p>La performance en entreprise ne se mesure pas seulement aux résultats, mais à la manière dont les objectifs sont fixés, suivis et ajustés.

While safety is paramount, guarantees on sufficient exploration are also crucial for ensuring autonomous task completion. To address these challenges, we propose a novel safe guaranteed exploration framework using optimal control, which achieves first-of-its-kind results: guaranteed exploration for non-linear systems with finite time sample complexity bounds, while being provably safe with arbitrarily high probability. The framework is general and applicable to many real-world scenarios with complex non-linear dynamics and unknown domains. For efficient implementation, we exploit goal-directed exploration, and receding-horizon replanning while preserving the framework’s guarantees, and demonstrate safe, efficient exploration in challenging unknown environments using a car model.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong>: <br>\r\nManish Prajapat earned his Ph.D. in reinforcement learning and control from ETH Zurich in May 2026.

I will discuss two discoveries that reveal how lysosomes solve these complementary challenges and how their failure creates disease vulnerabilities. First, I will describe Lysosomal Leucine Aminopeptidase (LyLAP), an enzyme specialized to processively degrade the hydrophobic α-helices of transmembrane proteins. LyLAP is highly expressed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, where its loss causes hydrophobic peptides to accumulate, compromises lysosomal function, and ultimately leads to cancer cell death, revealing a potential vulnerability in tumors with elevated endocytic activity. I will then describe LASER, a damage-responsive protein assembly that couples lysosomal membrane injury to repair. At its core, the oligomeric protein TFG recognizes LC3/GABARAP proteins conjugated to damaged lysosomes and recruits the ESCRT machinery to restore membrane integrity. Neurodegenerative disease-associated mutations in TFG disrupt this process, linking defective lysosomal repair to human disease. Together, these findings reveal lysosomes as dynamic systems that coordinate cargo degradation with membrane surveillance and repair to maintain cellular homeostasis. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nMore about Dr. Aakriti Jain's lab at UTSW: <a href=\"https://aakritijainlab.com/\">https://aakritijainlab.com/</a></p>", "image_description": "Dr. Aakriti Jain", "creation_date": "2026-08-19T11:24:24", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-21T16:54:33", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/7467019292", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Dr. Aakriti Jain, UTSW", "organizer": "Dr. Juan Manuel García-Arcos", "contact": "Dr. Juan Manuel García-Arcos, [email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "ESCRT, Lysosomal repair, organelle dynamics, Lysosomal Leucine Aminopeptidase, transmembrane protein degradation", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121477/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/111/?format=api" ] } ] }
