🧭 What are Mondays Tech Talks?

Mondays Tech Talks aims to foster interdisciplinary knowledge sharing within our ENAC community on data & coding topics, across academic domains and career levels. Focused on specific technical challenges or tools, each session gives the floor to several researchers, data engineers or software developers to share experiences and discuss state-of-the-art solutions to common technical questions.

We meet at 16h30 on the First Monday of each month! (during the semesters)

⚖️ Manifesto

Networking is inclusive

Everybody adds value. Whether you are a student, phd student, engineer, researcher, hobbyist, or an entirely different animal: we all want to chat, learn from each other and have fun.

Telling beats selling: Let’s share ideas, not sell products, organizations or philosophies.

Each event begins with 3-4 brief lightening talks about a technical challenge in their scientific field, new ideas, or a fascinating story/technology serving as conversation starters. We aim to be open, transparent, helpful and caring about IT challenges we all face.

Our minds are open: Opinions are important, especially coming from others

In a stimulating environment we have the unique opportunity to change our points of view, leave our comfort zones and think outside our respective boxes.

We love all of ENAC in its diversity

All genders, creeds and colours, citizens or expat, speaking French, English, German, Romansh, Italian, MATLAB, Python, R, C# or Javascript.
