\r\nPROGRAM 
\r\n \r\n\r\nBy Dr. Chiara Gabella – Head of team, Research data management, Academic and research support at EPFL Library.
\r\n
\r\n \r\n\r\nBy Dr. Róbert Fónod – Machine Learning and Computer Vision Engineer at senseFly (an EPFL spin-off, now EagleNXT) in Lausanne. Formerly Research Associate at EPFL's Urban Transportation Systems Laboratory (LUTS) and an EPFL Data Champion.
\r\n
\r\n\"In October 2022, a fleet of ten drones spent four days filming traffic across the smart city of Songdo, South Korea, producing terabytes of 4K aerial video. This talk follows what happened next: how that raw footage became a connected set of openly available research outputs. The project released two datasets (vehicle trajectories and annotated aerial imagery), three reusable software tools, a ready-to-use machine learning model, an interactive online demo, and a peer-reviewed open access paper tying everything together, each one cross-linked, citable, and archived for the long term. Using this as a worked example, I will share practical lessons on making research outputs findable, reusable, properly licensed, and cited, including a few surprises about which parts the community valued most.\"
\r\n
\r\n \r\n\r\nBy Prof. Alexis Berne – Associate Professor, Head of Environmental Remote Sensing Laboratory, EPFL ENAC
\r\n
\r\n\"The raindrop size distribution is a crucial information for atmospheric sciences, remote sensing and communications. Its current observations (from disdrometers) are rather spread between countries and institutions with heterogeneous variables and formats, hampering easy and broad access to public analysis-ready data sets. DISDRODB is an infrastructure (with associated softwares) aiming to provide a unified framework for the systematic sharing, standardization, and processing of disdrometer data. I will introduce DISDRODB and discuss the challenges to develop such tools.\"

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? From the viability of sovereign cloud architectures and open-weight foundation models to the governance mechanisms needed to ensure AI systems reflect Swiss values and legal frameworks, this conference brings together industry leaders, researchers, legal experts, policymakers, and civil society actors to assess the concrete levers of AI sovereignty and work toward actionable recommendations for a Swiss sovereign AI strategy.

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? From the viability of sovereign cloud architectures and open-weight foundation models to the governance mechanisms needed to ensure AI systems reflect Swiss values and legal frameworks, this conference brings together industry leaders, researchers, legal experts, policymakers, and civil society actors to assess the concrete levers of AI sovereignty and work toward actionable recommendations for a Swiss sovereign AI strategy.

\r\nThe School of Life Sciences and SV Sustainability are delighted to welcome Florian Breider, Tiffany Abitbol, and Felix Bobbink for the 7th edition of the Sustainable Academy, dedicated to the theme “The Plastic Curse.” 
\r\n
\r\nPlastic has become an integral part of our daily lives. In fact, it is now often more difficult to find objects without plastic than with it. While plastic offers many advantages, including its versatility, durability, lightweight nature, and low cost, its production and disposal have significant environmental consequences. Plastic pollution poses major threats to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health.
\r\n
\r\nResearch activities, particularly in the life sciences, rely heavily on plastic because of its numerous practical benefits. However, despite the challenges associated with managing plastic waste and closing material loops, more sustainable materials and circular solutions are emerging. 
\r\n
\r\nWhether you are a scientist, student, or simply curious about the issue, this seminar will provide valuable insights into plastic use at EPFL, the impacts of plastic pollution on our environment and health, promising alternative materials, and innovative recycling approaches, including a perspective on chemical recycling from Plastogaz. 
\r\n
\r\n Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired! And don't forget to register.
