Some members of @skaswitzerland and the EPFL Space Center / @space.innovation teams visited the CMi – Center of MicroNanoTechnology at @epflcampus on February 3. We had a very interesting one-hour tour led by Cyrille Hibert, Process Engineering Team Leader, including a visit to the cleanrooms and an inside look at the machines and processing equipment supporting microtechnology users. This visit highlighted how collaboration and knowledge-sharing between EPFL centers and labs are truly fruitful, fostering innovation across disciplines. 📸 Pictured: @jeanpaulkneib, Martine Harmel, Ariane Capt, and Joanna Jermini-Howard during the tour. 🔗 Learn more about CMi: https://www.epfl.ch/research/facilities/cmi/ #EPFL #CMi #MicroNanoTechnology #Cleanroom #EPFLSpaceCenter #SpaceInnovation #SKACH @epfl_espace

@mintvaud started today! All this week, schoolchildren aged 8 to 12 will be coming to EPFL’s @swisstech.convention.center to discover more about scientific and technical fields and conduct exciting experiments! The EPFL Space Center, @space_ex_ch and @skaswitzerland are on hand with space-related activities. Come and say hi! 😉 @epfl_espace @space.innovation @epflcampus @epfl_sps #mint #stem #kidsandsciences #MINTVaud #sciences #iss

Yesterday, at UniMail in Geneva, we had the chance to take part in « Elargis tes Horizons », which is dedicated to offering experiences in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology (MINT) to young girls. The EPFL Space Center offered a tour of the @iss, the International Space Station, using a virtual reality headset. Using a computer, the girls explored the satellite’s facilities and learned more about space. We were well accompanied! There were some really interesting stands and workshops on offer from a host of institutions, associations and companies, including: @cern, @epfl_sps, @sciences_unige, @heigvd, @cjb_geneve, @cfptechnique, @skyguideofficial, @zerowastegeneve, @education_nationale_france, @addictlab, @hepiageneve, @cui_unige, @rightstech.women... and many more. The sciences will be in good hands in the years to come: the new generation of women has shown itself to be enthusiastic, brilliant, a team player and eager to learn. 🚀 #EPFLspacecenter #élargisteshorizons #mintscience #womeninscience #iss #womeninspace #womeninspacescience #scienceoutreach #girlsandscience #womenintech #stem @epfl_espace @john_wm_maxwell @smartine06
