Pression de performance, surcharge d’informations, incertitudes et distractions digitales, nous affectent toutes et tous. Lorsqu’ils deviennent chroniques, ces états impactent la santé mentale, le sommeil, la concentration, la motivation, les relations sociales et la qualité du travail.
\r\n
\r\nComprendre ces mécanismes, apprendre à les réguler, et surtout identifier ses propres déclencheurs et ressources devient alors essentiel pour évoluer dans un cadre professionnel et promouvoir un travail stable et une qualité de vie plus saine.
\r\n
\r\nCette formation vise à renforcer votre résilience, vous permettre d’identifier vos déclencheurs personnels, et d’activer des ressources internes et externes pour retrouver calme, clarté mentale et stabilité au quotidien.
During a one-week Summer Workshop in Central London, students will explore drawing as a fundamental tool in architecture and engineering, engaging with the site as both a built environment and a historically transformed place. Developed in collaboration with Drawing Matter, London, the workshop integrates hands-on drawing with research into the Drawing Matter Collection, a unique archive of architectural drawings.

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 project aims to further investigate the structural, architectural, environmental, and social dimensions of TRC and its applications, particularly in the context of a new Multi-Purpose Space for the Department of Architecture & Interior Design Kenyatta University Campus, Nairobi, Kenya in collaboration with Urko Sanchez Architects. The space is intended to support academic, social, and experimental activities while serving as a living laboratory for sustainable and alternative construction methods. The pavilion should function not only as a usable academic space but also as a pedagogical tool, demonstrating climate-responsive design, material innovation, and adaptability over time. \r\n

We uncovered a new mechanism for coincidence detection in the Drosophila head direction network. To maintain an accurate sense of direction, head direction neurons that signal orientation during navigation must learn to anchor to relevant external sensory cues in novel environments. Yet the synaptic mechanism for this form of unsupervised learning is unknown in any organism. In Drosophila, GABAergic visual inputs converge onto head direction neurons, and these inhibitory synapses change strength with experience to learn the relationship between visual landmarks and head direction. However, how coincident pre- and postsynaptic activity is detected across this inhibitory synapse is not understood. We discovered that neurons which release the monoamine octopamine close a feedback loop that conveys postsynaptic head direction activity onto presynaptic terminals of visual inputs. This octopamine pathway is required for anchoring the head direction network to visual cues. Furthermore, pairing structured activation of octopamine neurons with a visual cue is sufficient to drive rapid plasticity, even without postsynaptic head direction cell activity. Previous work has extensively characterized coincidence detection mechanisms at excitatory synapses; our work defines a novel mechanism for coincidence detection at an inhibitory synapse, in which postsynaptic activity is relayed via a neuromodulatory neuron onto presynaptic terminals.
