MARVEL phase 2 closing event

Apr 28, 2022, from 9:00 until 18:00, SwissTech Convention Center, EPFL

The phase 2 of MARVEL is coming to a close, officially at the end of April. In order to give a proper conclusion to this phase and celebrate the achievements of all groups — and especially since we had to resort to virtual meetings since 2020! —  MARVEL members and all interested, are invited to the in-person MARVEL phase 2 closing event on Thursday April 28, 2022 at the SwissTech Convention Center, EPFL.

Each Design & Discovery project will have an overall final presentation given by the PI, followed by 2 student talks on more focused aspects of the project. In addition, Agility+ projects and the Incubator projects will also showcase their results. This will be followed by a well-deserved apero for a proper sendoff!

Registrations are closed.
