This is a non-exhaustive list of EPFL initiatives, we will be updating it regularly. If your Open Science project is not showcased here and you would like to share it, please email us at [email protected]
Collaborative platforms
Materials Cloud
A virtual research environment for materials science, providing open access to data, software, and computational resources. It aims to accelerate the discovery and design of new materials.
SolarFuelsDB
An open database of experimental descriptions of solar to fuel devices published in peer reviewed academic literature
NanoFab.net
A knowledgebase to facilitate the exchange of best practices related to micro- and nanofabrication, including both positive and negative results.
ASAP
A collaborative portal to analyze single-cell transcriptomics data.
Open Source Software
Scala Center
A non-profit organization established to advance the Scala programming language and its ecosystem. It focuses on education, research, and community development to promote the use of Scala in industry and academia.
Biogeme
open source Python package designed for the maximum likelihood estimation of parametric models in general, with a special emphasis on discrete choice models.
DeepLabCut
DeepLabCut is an open-source software tool for markerless tracking of body parts in 2D and 3D, primarily used in the field of animal behavior research. It allows for accurate and efficient tracking of multiple body parts in video data and deep learning-based image analysis.
Phoenix3D
An open source tool to design optimum truss structures made of new and reused components
Tamaas
A high-performance rough-surface periodic contact code based on boundary and volume integral equations.
Pyxu
An open-source Python framework allowing scientists at any level to quickly prototype/deploy hardware accelerated and out-of-core computational imaging pipelines at scale.
Open Research Data
Urban Traffic Models through Massive Empirical Data
An open dataset aiming to create the most complete urban dataset to study congestion.
[In progress] Open access to Montreux Jazz Archive
This project aims to build a secure computation platform allowing anyone to perform open and reproducible research on the archive without copyright infrigement.
Open Educational Resources
Open Software Services for Classrooms and Research
A platform based on a collaborative environment to promote awareness and adoption of best practises in Open Science and computational thinking.
Open Hardware microscopy workshops
Dissemination activities in the form of open hardware microscopy workshops.
Additional resources from ENAC (School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering) can be found here.
EPFL Open Science Fund
In September 2018, the Open Science Fund – an EPFL-driven funding initiative to support the best Open Science ideas on campus – was launched. With a total of CHF 3 Mio over the period 2019-2021, it enabled the development of 18 independent projects. Learn more about these Open Science Champions.
The program is currently put on hold, while EPFL takes part in the ETH domain Open Research Data program. This program offers grants for projects at various level of maturity.
