POSTDOC RETREAT 2015
Event details
| Date | 23.10.2015 › 24.10.2015 |

Les Diablerets

| Category | Conferences - Seminars |
The purpose of this retreat is to create a relaxed space outside the workplace to foster and strengthen a sense of community among the EPFL postdocs, providing an opportunity for spontaneous and deliberate collaborations and/or simply tightening bonds with our peers. This event is officially part of the SV postdoc activities and fully supported by our Dean Dr Gisou van der Goot. Therefore, it should be taken as “conference”, and not declared as holidays.
The retreat will start on Friday October 23rd and close at around noon on the 24th. The program includes a speed collaborating get-together, and allocates ample time for social activities, ranging from a delicious fondue to an exciting intro do Bobsleigh! In the last day we’ll have a hike, where friends and family are welcome to join the participants for the rest of the retreat.
The conference will be held at the beautiful EPFL/UNIL Chalet at Les Diablerets, which is conveniently located 1:30 hours from Lausanne. A shuttle bus will bring us there, while the trip back is open.
