Unseen Insights Event & the Sylvie Rusconi Award

With works implemented in locations such as New York, Dubai and Zurich, the 15th anniversary of the EPFL+ECAL Lab resonates like a firework. Several conferences have also featured our latest research papers on key issues including trust, culturally relevant A.I. and well-being. Part of the Lab’s core activities, these crucial topics address the current challenges of our society and our economy.

In 2023, the EPFL+ECAL Lab will be set to drive the world of art and design in the field of computer graphics and interaction techniques, as Nicolas Henchoz becomes chair of the Art Papers at SIGGRAPH. This major conference gathers 18’000 people from around the world and key players from academia, industry, movie companies and culture.

Celebrating this important milestone, the EPFL+ECAL Lab gathered partners and board members on November 17 to share a preview of this exciting evolution, disclose new visions and unveil upcoming research projects.
