Join us for the third edition of the Lemanic Life Sciences Hackathon!
\r\n
\r\nOrganized by EPFL School of Life Sciences, EPFL AI Center and the University of Bern, we aim to bring together clinicians, life scientists, and data scientists to test ideas, drive innovation, and tackle real-world challenges in healthcare and research.
\r\n
\r\nExplore the untapped potential of AI in life sciences and clinical research\r\n
Extreme speed, millimeter precision, cutting-edge engineering, split-second strategic decisions — a world where every detail counts and performance is everything.
\r\nBut behind this high-tech spectacle, one question remains:
\r\n
\r\nWhere are women?
\r\n
\r\nIn 2026, while F1 embodies innovation and excellence, it remains one of the most male-dominated professional sports.
\r\nCoincidence… or a reflection of deeper, systemic mechanisms?
\r\n
\r\nThe EPFL Alumni Women Club, in partnership with EPFL Alumni, invites you to go beyond the surface, to understand the forces holding women back in F1.
\r\n
\r\nIn this open discussion, we will tackle the real questions:
\r\n— Is Formula 1 truly accessible to everyone?
\r\n— Are the barriers cultural, educational, physical… or systemic?
\r\n— Who decides today who gets to join the grid?
\r\n— And what role do the media, sponsors, and public play in maintaining—or challenging—this imbalance?
\r\n
\r\nA high-level exchange at the crossroads of sport, technology, and societal issues. This event offers a deep dive into the backstage of an iconic sport, decoding its codes and structures.
\r\nThe goal: to understand, but also to explore concrete levers for change.
\r\n
\r\nWe are honored to welcome key figures from the paddock:
\r\n
\r\n- Mattia Binotto EPFL engineer, Head of Audi F1 Project: Audi officially enters the FIA Formula 1 World Championship in 2026
\r\n- Laura Villars First woman candidate for FIA presidency 2025, and racing driver
\r\n- Vita Marina Project Manager of Power Unit Mechanical Systems at Audi Revolut F1 Team
\r\n- and other exclusive guests !
\r\n
\r\nAnd to cap it off:
\r\nExperience the new EPFL Racing Team car in an exclusive first look, followed by a guided tour of their workshops and laboratories.
\r\n
\r\nEvent in English
Talent Pitch is a pitching contest that will take place for the fourth time on May 6, 2026, at the Volkshaus in Zurich. Our partner universities will send their top start-ups to the event, with all founding teams currently studying at their respective institutions. Both the audience and the jury will have the opportunity to decide which start-up emerges as the winner.

\r\n
\r\nThrough this annual call for projects, CROSS provides competitive grants to support new seed research endeavors that have the potential to grow into full–scale interdisciplinary research projects.
\r\n
\r\nThe 2024 CROSS call is open to all topics.
\r\n
\r\n—————————————————————————————
\r\n
\r\nPROPOSALS:
\r\n
