This summer school, organized by seven PhD students from EPFL and ETH Zurich, brings together leading researchers and postgraduate students. Participants will learn modern mathematical and probabilistic methods for linear algebra through lectures by experts in randomized numerical linear algebra. The program also includes networking opportunities with fellow participants, lecturers, and industry representatives.
\r\n
\r\nThe summer school takes place in a modern hotel in the middle of the historic lakeside town of Murten/Morat. Accommodation, food, and all other costs during the summer school will be covered. All participants are charged a small registration fee.
\r\n
\r\nRegistrations can be made until February 15 and are primarily open to doctoral students from the ETH domain, with limited exceptions for international and master’s students. It is possible to obtain 2 ECTS credits for attending MoRAT.
The ATC (Assistive Technology Challenge : EPFL Assistive Techn... - Project - MAKE) welcomes you to discover this year's six prototypes designed by the students' teams ! Join us for this unique occasion to exchange with them about their work, meet challengers, and get a glimps at how they overcame the challenges !

\r\nFor Whom
\r\nThis edition is curated for established founders, experienced entrepreneurs, active investors and ecosystem leaders shaping Switzerland’s innovation landscape.
\r\n
\r\nEvent Highlights\r\n
The EPFL Latsis Symposium 2026: “Decoding the Cell: Modeling, Predicting, and Engineering Cellular States” will be held on October 29-30, 2026, at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.
\r\n
\r\nThis international gathering will bring together leading scientists in single-cell analysis, computational modeling, and cellular engineering to explore how recent breakthroughs in multi-omics technologies, predictive algorithms, and synthetic biology are reshaping our understanding of cellular function.
\r\n
\r\nThrough interdisciplinary talks and discussions, the symposium will spotlight advances in single-cell multi-modal data integration, predictive modeling of cell identity and behavior, and the engineering of synthetic cell states. By connecting researchers across experimental and computational domains, the event aims to establish new conceptual and technological frameworks for modeling and controlling cellular systems.
\r\n
\r\nHosted by EPFL, the symposium will foster scientific exchange, spark new collaborations, and accelerate progress toward next-generation cell-based therapies, disease models, and synthetic biological innovations.
\r\n
\r\nJoin us in Lausanne to connect with the global community shaping the future of cell understanding and engineering.
