The Institute’s purpose is to physically foster relationships, exchanges, and collaborations between the three institutions and their immediate as well as broader environment. The architecture of the Institute is therefore intentionally open to the city. From Porte d’Aix Square, this small campus stands out, day and night, as a welcoming presence.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>NP2F architectes</strong><br>\r\nNP2F is an architecture firm founded in 2009 by François Chas, Nicolas Guérin, Fabrice Long, and Paul Maitre Devallon. Today, it brings together around twenty team members split between Marseille and Paris, and works in various cities across France and abroad. The projects NP2F engages in are both architectural and urban, and its areas of expertise include sports facilities, cultural and educational buildings, leisure and dining venues, and public space.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Part of School Lecture Series, Autumn 2026, Learning Vol.1</strong><br>\r\nWe are told that learning is no longer confined to the school or the university, but it has become a continuous process that involves the totality of life. Yet in accepting this reality, we take for granted several questions that loom large within the contemporary idea of learning. In a time when technology and information are ubiquitous, does it still make sense that for learning to happen or be confined within a place? Is learning still an asymmetrical relationship where there are teachers and a student? And above all, is learning accessible, or has it become too expensive a commodity? In this lecture series, we’ll attempt to answer these questions by investigating learning on different levels such as technology, construction systems, educational spaces, and above all, making architecture. Indeed, the question that is more than anything else crucial to us is whether architecture is still a place of learning and not only of empowering those who have capital to build it. We will look at schools, drawings, robots, and measuring devices. We will ponder whether these things are only ‘tools’ to achieve a result or can still be vital places for learning. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Recordings available on YouTube</strong><br>\r\n@epflarchitectureschool<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Graphic Design</strong><br>\r\nRoman Karrer & Sandi Gazic", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-08-14T16:43:45", "last_modification_date": "2026-08-17T13:18:51", "link_label": "Poster School Lecture Series Fall 2026", "link_url": "https://go.epfl.ch/school-lecture-series-fall-2026", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Foyer SG", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room=%3DSG%20294.22&dim_floor=2&lang=fr&dim_lang=fr&tree_groups=centres_nevralgiques_grp%2Cmobilite_acces_grp%2Crestauration_et_commerces_grp%2Censeignement%2Cservices_campus_grp%2Cequipements_grp&tree_group_layers_centres_nevralgiques_grp=&tree_group_layers_mobilite_acces_grp=metro&tree_group_layers_restauration_et_commerces_grp=&tree_group_layers_enseignement=guichet_etudiants&tree_group_layers_services_campus_grp=information_epfl&tree_group_layers_equipements_grp=&baselayer_ref=grp_backgrounds&map_x=2532923&map_y=1152547&map_zoom=12", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "NP2F architects", "organizer": "<a href=\"http://[email protected]\" target=\"_blank\">EPFL Architecture</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"http://[email protected]\" target=\"_blank\">EPFL Architecture</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": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121436/", "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/32/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72546, "title": "AI Sovereignty: Charting Switzerland's Path Amid US and Chinese AI Dominance", "slug": "ai-sovereignty-charting-switzerland-s-path-amid-us", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/ai-sovereignty-charting-switzerland-s-path-amid-us", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33796/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33796/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33796/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-10", "end_date": "2026-11-10", "start_time": "09:30:00", "end_time": "18:30:00", "description": "<p>As the global AI landscape consolidates around US and Chinese dominance, every nation outside this duopoly faces an urgent question: how can countries retain meaningful control over a technology increasingly expected to shape their economic competitiveness, national security, and societal resilience?

However, while cutting-edge research drives innovation, it also carries a significant environmental footprint. Laboratories consume large amounts of energy, generate substantial quantities of plastic, chemical, and biological waste, and contribute considerably to greenhouse gas emissions. At EPFL, we are committed to understanding and reducing this impact. Through the development and deployment of the <strong>EPFL CO₂ Calculator</strong>, we help researchers measure, understand, and improve the environmental performance of their activities.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nFrom <strong>October 8 to December 17, 2026</strong>, the <strong>Sustainable Labs: Get Involved</strong> sessions will focus on training and supporting users in the use of the <strong>EPFL CO₂ Calculator</strong>.

This lecture will revisit the fundamentals of heterogeneous nucleation with emphasis on the role of surface cavities, trapped vapour embryos and contact angle in determining whether nucleation can occur and at what wall superheat. Classical nucleation concepts will be used to illustrate why cavity size alone is not sufficient to describe an active nucleation site, and why the geometry of the cavity and the amount of trapped vapour must be considered together with surface wettability. The discussion will then move toward real surfaces, where advancing and receding contact angles, contact-angle hysteresis, roughness and different wetting states influence vapour entrapment, bubble growth, contact-line motion and subsequent rewetting of the surface. Selected experimental examples from functionalised boiling surfaces will be used to demonstrate how controlled combinations of surface chemistry and microstructure can be applied to tailor nucleation behaviour and overall boiling performance. The lecture will conclude with approaches toward more durable boiling interfaces that retain favourable wetting and nucleation characteristics during prolonged operation, connecting the fundamentals of bubble nucleation with the broader challenge of developing reliable high-performance surfaces for practical thermal systems<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography: </strong>Matevž Zupančič is an Assistant Professor at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (UL FME), where he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in heat transfer, heat exchangers, process engineering, thermodynamics of mixtures, and environmentally related technologies.

His research is in mathematical imaging and inverse problems, at the meeting point of variational methods, optimisation and machine learning. He is especially interested in learning-based reconstruction methods that stay interpretable and reliable because they keep the physics of the acquisition process in the model.
