EPFL invites its staff and doctoral students to exhibit their artistic works (paintings, ceramics, framed works on paper, textile art, sculpture, mixed media; no photographs or videos) as part of the CREApoly exhibition. This exhibition offers a space for free, creative, and non-judgmental expression where you can share your artistic vision.

\r\nA community-focused initiative organized as part of the 2026 Health days and Les Culturelles Festival.

\r\nPractical Information:\r\n
Are you finding it difficult to come up with a truly innovative idea for your next grant application? Do you ever feel stuck in an experiment, in familiar ways of thinking, even when you know there must be new angles to explore?
\r\n
\r\nScience progress moves between two complementary modes: Day Science, the rigorous testing of ideas, and Night Science, the creative process where those ideas first emerge. Indeed, what we call the scientific method tells us what to do once we have a hypothesis – but where do these hypotheses come from in the first place? François Jacob famously called this part the realm of ‘Night Science’.
\r\n
\r\nDrawing on the Night Science training framework developed by Profs Itai Yanai and Martin Lercher, this workshop will introduce thinking tools and exercises to help you foster exploratory thinking, interdisciplinarity and a general attitude of openness towards new ideas applied to your own research challenges. This course is provided by a certified Night Science trainer from the EPFL Research Office.
