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 tool enables laboratories, platforms, centers, and central units to estimate their carbon footprint, identify major emission hotspots, and support informed decision-making to reduce their environmental impact through targeted actions.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHere are the planned sessions : \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Thursday October 8th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday October 13th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday October 22th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday October 27th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday November 5th 12:15-13:00(online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday November 10th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday November 19th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday November 24th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday December 3rd 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday December 8th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday December 17th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n</ul>\r\nFor online sessions, here is the <a href=\"https://epfl.zoom.us/j/63013630338\">Zoom link</a>.

Dear Science and Other Stories. Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 2021.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n'Decolonizing’, a term fashionably peppered across curricula, is a contested concept, weaponized and instrumentalized in political battles across global academia—and beyond. What does doing decolonized research actually entail? Can one decolonize one's own approach? Where do the signs of a decolonized research methodology surface? Can the academy be decolonized from within? Organized into three sessions, the seminar will explore diverse dimensions of citation practices:T. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis seminar will interrogate the far-fetched claim of neutrality in research at large, and of doctoral research in particular, through the lens of decolonial research discourse. Together we will explore precedents and methodologies, understanding how decolonized approaches fundamentally change the nature of conventional academic research. The seminar is articulated around four sessions/roundtables that problematize/address:<br>\r\n<br>\r\n1) Positioning<br>\r\n2) Data <br>\r\n3) Tracking<br>\r\n4) Subject & Intersections<br>\r\n<br>\r\nEach of the sessions will be organized as a roundtable discussion, including doctoral students, masters students, EPFL scholars and researchers, and external guests, providing a platform for critical reflection, dialogue, and collaboration on navigating the complexities of fieldwork across diverse research environments. This seminar should provide a rare platform for critical reflection, sustained dialogue, and collaborative reimagining - an opportunity to collectively navigate and challenge the complexities of conducting research across diverse environments while actively working toward decolonized methodologies.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nProgram:<br>\r\n<u>November 17th, 2026</u><br>\r\n<br>\r\n13:00 Introduction<br>\r\n<u>14:00 Session 1, Positioning</u><br>\r\n<em><u>The Violence of Legibility</u></em><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/varathas/?hl=en\">with சிந்துஜன் வரதராஜா (Sinthujan Varatharajah)</a><br>\r\n14:45 Roundtable Discussion<br>\r\n<br>\r\n15:30 Break<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>16:00 Session 2, Data</u><br>\r\n<em><u>Data Against 'Data'</u></em><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.newschool.edu/parsons/faculty/claudia-tomateo/\">with Claudia Tomateo</a><br>\r\n16:45 Roundtable Discussion<br>\r\n<br>\r\n17:30 Apéro<br>\r\n<u>November 18th, 2026</u><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>10:00 Peer-to-Peer Workshop</u><br>\r\n<br>\r\n12:00 Lunch<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>13:30 Session 3, Tracking</u><br>\r\n<em><u>The Politics of Data: Collections and the Unequal Making of Knowledge</u></em><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://studiyo-filipino.ch/en/home-en/\">with Doris Bacalzo & Beatriz Lorente of Studiyo Filipino</a><br>\r\n14:15 Roundtable Discussion<br>\r\n<br>\r\n15:00 Break<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>15:30 Session 4, Subject/Intersections</u><br>\r\n<em><u>Origin (and other improbable things)</u> </em><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://strangerinthecity.ch/\">with Salim Umar</a><br>\r\n16:15 Roundtable Discussion<br>\r\n<br>\r\n17:00 Closing Remarks<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/neighbours-vol-8-lucia-allais-topographic-modernis/\">18:00 Suggested Event: Neighbors Lecture with Lucia Allais</a></p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-10-28T10:29:56", "last_modification_date": "2026-11-03T14:33:41", "link_label": "Against Data - Decolonizing Research", "link_url": "https://www.riot.today/seminars-against-data/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Blue City Room, BP 4232", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "ிந்துஜன் வரதராஜா (Sinthujan Varatharajah), Claudia Tomateo, Doris Bacalzo and Beatriz Lorente of Studiyo Filipino, and Salim Umar ", "organizer": "RIOT, Chaired by Prof. Charlotte Malterre-Barthes", "contact": "Kathlyn Kao;

In this talk, I will present our approach to bridging these regimes by programming material architecture, connectivity, and active response across multiple scales.<br>\r\nI will first show how geometric and topological design can overcome the trade-off between shape morphing and stiffness. Scale-inspired layered structures combine complex deformation with controllable load-bearing capacity, while topologically interlocked fabrics use collective interactions and jamming to transition from conformable sheets to stiff structures. Active fibers and hierarchical tessellations further enable programmable three-dimensional morphing and customized human assistance. I will also introduce granular metamaterials with reconfigurable bonds that assemble, disassemble, and rearrange to achieve adaptive mechanical and robotic functions. Finally, I will discuss coaxial direct ink writing as a strategy for embedding conductive pathways, dielectric insulation, and actuation directly into three-dimensional structures. The resulting electrostatic fibers and lattices enable programmable clutches, shape morphing, artificial muscles, and swimming robots. Together, these studies establish a pathway from soft matter to strong, active, and adaptive robotic systems.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography: </strong>Dr. Yifan Wang is an Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, where he leads the Robotic Materials Group.

For example, a misaligned model used to scan code for vulnerabilities may want to withhold its findings, i.e., sandbag, in order to exploit them later.<br>\r\nTo study ELK empirically, we need model organisms that mirror this setting. Existing model organisms fall short in several respects. In this work, we train model organisms to withhold solutions in a vulnerability detection task.<br>\r\nWe combine transcript distillation with counter-prompting and tamper-resistance training to instill three properties that we argue are critical for a useful ELK testbed:\r\n</p><ol start=\"1\">\r\n\t<li><strong>Selectivity:</strong> The model sandbags when it thinks the overseer doesn't know the answer and complies otherwise.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Robustness:</strong> The model resists elicitation.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Retention:</strong> The model retains a knowledge advantage over the overseer, as opposed to losing the relevant capability.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nWe train a sequence of model organisms and show that our strongest model substantially outperforms prior models on robustness while keeping the other two properties intact.<br>\r\nWe hope that our model organisms provide a useful ELK testbed for the community, and that our methodology sparks the development of increasingly challenging model organisms.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Speakers & Bios</strong>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Euodia Dodd — Imperial College London</strong><br>\r\n\tEuodia is a PhD student in the AI Security and Privacy Lab at Imperial College London supervised by Prof. Yves-Alexandre de Montjoye, and a MATS 10.1 fellow researching AI Control.

He contributed to Humanity's Last Exam, a multi-modal benchmark of expert-authored academic questions designed to resist saturation and internet lookup, and to a Korean professional benchmark suite that cleans existing datasets and tests licensure-level domain expertise.

He studies how to rigorously measure what LLMs can and can't do, especially as autonomous agents over long horizons, so we can deploy them safely and reliably. He co-led PostTrainBench, which measures whether LLM agents can autonomously post-train LLMs, and <em>A Sober Look at LM Reasoning</em>, which showed that many reported reasoning gains shrink under standardized evaluation. Most recently, at MATS with Mary Phuong (Google DeepMind), he trained model organisms for sandbagging: models that deliberately underperform on evaluations.</li>\r\n</ul>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-11-09T14:27:49", "last_modification_date": "2026-11-09T14:31:06", "link_label": "Zoom Link", "link_url": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/67428504046?pwd=bpqZcJmCalrvsTlGVbCi097IO2ryIP.1", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "ELE 117", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ELE%20117", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/67428504046?pwd=bpqZcJmCalrvsTlGVbCi097IO2ryIP.1", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Euodia Dodd, Lennart Finke, Hardik Bhatnagar", "organizer": "", "contact": "Nicolas Machado & Fares Fawzi", "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/122656/", "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/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/416/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 66916, "title": "Information Days", "slug": "information-days", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/information-days", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/28622/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/28622/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/28622/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-18", "end_date": "2026-11-20", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<strong>Information Days 18-20.11.2026</strong><br>\r\nAimed at students from Swiss upper secondary schools (gymnases), vocational schools offering a baccalaureate, and foreign high schools, <a href=\"http://www.epfl.ch/education/bachelor/information-days/\">EPFL's Information Days</a> take place at the <a href=\"https://maps.app.goo.gl/HbhXiAbGw4HN6RmV9\">SwissTech Convention Center</a> .
