4 faculties, 16 laboratories of highly qualified experts, the EPFL Valais campus is no longer a project but a reality, which has far exceeded the most optimistic projections in barely 7 years of existence. With state-of-the-art equipment, shared instrumentation including laser, chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, electronic imaging, mass spectrometry, X-ray diffractometry laboratories, a Fablab, mechanical and electronic workshops and a chemical store, the researchers based in Sion benefit fully from the investment made by the Canton of Valais and the City of Sion.
