The third major mission of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences is to serve as a bridge between scientists, intelligentsia, artists and the general public.
To do this, the College relies on the EPFL Pavilions team, which produces and presents ambitious exhibitions in its Pavilions A and B; on the CDH-Culture, which ensures a varied artistic program ; on the journalist Anne Laure Gannac, who, through LUNCHenPHILO and podcast series, invites specialists and the general public to reflect between science and philosophy; and finally, on “Enter the Hyper-Scientific” the Artist in Residence program which invites Swiss and international artists to realize visionary projects in dialogue with EPFL’s scientific community.
The CDH-Culture also manages a platform for competitions to win tickets for shows and is responsible for preserving and promoting the fixed works of art on campus, most of which resonate with the architecture of the buildings.
