\r\nHello 3D World - 14. November 2026
\r\nWie denkst du wurden die Figuren und Kulissen in den Filmen Shrek, Cars, Ice Age oder Kung Fu Panda gestaltet? Beim Entwerfen und Animieren von 3D-Objekten kannst Du wie im richtigen Animationsstudio gleichzeitig in die Rolle einer Künstlerin und einer Informatikerin schlüpfen. Du wirst dreidimensionale Objekte rund um das Thema Wald gestalten und in einem zweiten Schritt deiner Fantasie freien Lauf lassen und deine eigenen 3D-Objekte entwerfen!
\r\n
\r\nWebdesignerin - 28. November 2026
\r\nEntdecke den Hintergrund einer Webseite und entwerfe deine eigene von A bis Z mit derselben Sprache wie die Profis! An diesem Workshop wirst du mit HTML vertraut und wirst verstehen, wie Webseiten gestaltet wurden und wie weit du selbst gehen kannst.

\r\n6.30pm – Followed by the opening of the exhibition The Extraction of Value with Paolo Tombesi
\r\n
\r\nWhat if robots didn’t replace us, but worked alongside us? Robots are capable of assembling, analysing, experimenting and learning from their mistakes. Could they take on construction work without replacing human labour? Research carried out by the CRCL explores a form of collaboration between humans and machines that departs from the traditional promise of automation. It opens the way to more inclusive building sites and non-standardised, more environmentally friendly architecture that goes beyond the mere logic of replacement and productivity. 
\r\n
\r\nCan we trust a robot on a building site? This guided tour explores what it means to build alongside increasingly capable machines, and how collaboration between humans and robots could affect our buildings, our trades and, by extension, our daily lives.

\r\nTitle
\r\nLearning to Play at Human Speed: From Simulation to Expert-Level Robot Table Tennis
\r\n
\r\nAbstract
\r\nWhat does it take for a robot to compete with a human in one of the fastest and most dynamic sports?
\r\nTable tennis compresses many of the fundamental challenges of physical AI into just a few hundred milliseconds. The robot must perceive a ball travelling at high speed, estimate its position and spin, predict its trajectory, decide how to respond, and execute a precise motion, all while interacting with an intelligent and unpredictable opponent.
\r\nIn this talk, I will present Project ACE, an autonomous table tennis robot developed at Sony AI that progressed from learning basic racket skills to competing with elite human players. I will discuss the complete system behind this progression: high-speed visual perception, reinforcement learning, simulation, robot control, and the iterative sim-to-real process that enabled policies trained in simulation to perform on a real robot. Beyond table tennis, ACE provides a case study in what it takes to move from impressive robotic demonstrations to robust physical intelligence. I will share some of the lessons we learned about combining learning with control, using real-world failures to improve simulation, and designing AI systems that can adapt and act under the speed, uncertainty, and constraints of the physical world.

THIS EVENT HAD TO BE CANCELED, UNFORTUNATELY
\r\n
\r\nBy and with the Plume Association
\r\nDuration: 1 hour
\r\n
\r\nPLUME is the UNIL-EPFL literature association. Its mission is to promote writing and literary activities among students. As part of the Les Culturelles festival, Plume presents a reading of the final texts from its “Carnets d’exploration” project.
\r\n
\r\nTHE PROJECT:
\r\nStudents are invited to write a text or create an illustration on the theme of “exploration and travel,” whether real or fantastical. A jury selects six authors, who are invited to spend a weekend in the mountains to write the next chapter of the adventure. The texts are read aloud during a public reading as part of the Les Culturelles Festival and then published in a final anthology.
\r\n
\r\nDates:
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
PUBLIC READING:
\r\nMonday, October 12, at 12:00 p.m. in the MED Hall
\r\nAs part of the Les Culturelles festival, the texts will be read publicly during a dedicated event, followed by a complimentary snack (registration required). A publication containing all the texts will be released in late 2026.
\r\n
\r\nCarnets d’exploration is a project that received support from the Pôle Culture (VPI) as part of a competition held twice a year for student organizations involved in campus culture.

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.
