The Hydromondes collective invites the EPFL community to explore the relationship between science and the bodies of water that surround us, in an artistic and festive setting.
\r\n
\r\nOn stage: 
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\nThe event, which could be called a “festive gathering,” is a mix of performance, lecture, and debate. It consists of three parts: 
\r\n 
\r\n\r\n
    \r\n\t
  1. The first part presents the scientific, artistic, and sensory content developed by the Hydromondes collective to put ourselves in the shoes of Lake Geneva—a living entity—in order to understand the paths water takes through our bodies, through the pipes and faucets at EPFL, and more broadly throughout the region.
    \r\n\t 
    2. \r\n\t
  2. The second part is an opened discussion with the audience to gather testimonies, questions, and reflections on the issue of water stewardship, particularly in light of current and future socioeconomic challenges and climate disruptions.
    \r\n\t 
    3. \r\n\t
  3. The third part gets us moving to “stir up our waters,” drawing our attention to the health of Lake Geneva and all bodies of water. A mix of texts, live drawings (using water from Lake Geneva), and music turns this moment into a festive gathering.
    4. \r\n
\r\n\r\n

\r\nThe Hydromondes Collective
\r\nFor the past two years, the Hydromondes collective has been developing a research-creation project on Lake Geneva as a living entity, engaging with scientists, managers, activists, and artists from the Lake Geneva region to attempt to paint a dynamic portrait of this lake on which we depend—particularly through the waters that flow through us. The collective employs sensory cartography, creates drawings and texts, and composes music. On June 12 and 13, 2026, the Lake Geneva Bioregional Assemblies took place at the Vidy Theater, during which Hydromondes brought together a myriad of Franco-Swiss collectives to create a cross-border community dedicated to the care of the waters.
\r\n
\r\nThe collaboration between the collective and Nathalia Capellini, a historian at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) and instructor in the EPFL’s SHS program, gave rise to the performance *Le Léman Cyborg*, presented on May 7, 2026, as part of the *Culturelles de printemps* festival. Nathalia Capellini’s course titled “Infrastructures” had fueled the project. This collaboration between the collective and the academic community will therefore continue for the Culturelles in October 2026, with a more participatory format—somewhere between an artistic presentation and a town hall meeting—in a playful atmosphere.

\r\nPRACTICAL INFORMATION:\r\n\r\nThey answered the call and will be exhibiting one or two works as part of the creapoly exhibition! The techniques used are almost as varied as the 30 participants themselves: acrylic, watercolor, ceramics, collage, ink, charcoal, oil, pastel, palette knife painting, drypoint, woodcarving, and even mixed media and digital techniques…
\r\n
\r\nThe participants are: Thibault Aryaksama[SS1] , Behnaz Bakhtiari, Zahra Basiri, Laurence Briola, Seyedmohamadjavad Chabok, Jeanne Fernandez, Inès Gotti, Martine Harmel, Yasaman Izadmehr, Laurent Jospin, Anisia Katinskaia, Yves Leterrier, Katherine Loh, Irina Lopez, Mabel Maucci, Pierre Merret, Wricha Mishra, Gianluca Pepe, Laura Persat, Bernadette Pianka, Jean-Daniel Roulier, Mathilde Saunois, Maria Sivers, Joan Suris, Rita Székely, Barbara Tinguely, Laure Vancauwenberghe, Mioara Vasile, Christian Vonarburg and Marie-Pierre Zufferey. 
\r\n
\r\nA scenic design will showcase these works, thanks to the efforts of Dimitri Kasparian, who also serves as the scenic designer for Archizoom’s exhibitions.
\r\n
\r\nThis project is organized as part of the 2026 Health days and Les Culturelles Festival by the VPI’s Culture Pole, in partnership with the VPH.

Prendre sa retraite après un long parcours professionnel ne va pas forcément de soi, si l'on pense à la place prise par le travail dans son parcours de vie. Le séminaire a pour objectif d'aider les participant.e.s à identifier les changement que cette transition introduira dans leur existence, afin d'anticiper et construire un nouvel équilibre de vie. Il s'agit également de conscientiser tous les aspects de cette période de la vie et les adaptations à réaliser, seul.e ou en couple, ainsi qui de définir les axes principaux et futures activités et projets. Les questions liées aux aspects financiers et au maintien de son capital santé, sont aussi abordées.

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.
