“Hardly a day goes by that I don't build something”

EPFL community

Over two decades ago, Stéphane Clerc started getting involved in the technical work behind some high-profile projects involving EPFL – including Alinghi and Solar Impulse. For the past six years, he’s been drawing on that experience as a coach at EPFL’s SKIL workshops.

Scientists reveal why some people with the flu may be more contagious

Research

EPFL scientists have discovered that in indoor spaces, droplets containing the flu virus will remain infectious for longer when they also contain certain types of bacteria found in our respiratory tract. This finding provides important insight into how respiratory infections are transmitted and can enhance estimates of exposure risk.

ENAC three disciplines

ENAC bring together three transformative disciplines:

  • Architecture
  • Civil Engineering
  • Environmental Sciences and Engineering

ENAC explores the potentials of interdisciplinarity to achieve excellence in the training of tomorrow’s architects and engineers as well as to place scientists at the forefront of research.
