Lausanne (EPFL)

The ELLIS unit Lausanne brings together researchers working on various aspects of creating intelligent systems. The fundamental research and its applications cross the boundaries of schools at EPFL and create opportunities for direct interactions with the Swiss industry. Further, the ELLIS unit Lausanne contributes to the objectives of ELLIS to develop education in AI and Intelligent Systems through e.g., summer school programs and PhD student co-supervision and exchanges. The ELLIS unit, which is hosted within the Center for Intelligent Systems (CIS) at EPFL, reaches out to various application domains such as autonomous systems, wearable technologies, robotic co-workers, smart devices, drone technology, augmented reality, intelligent houses, digital twins, intelligent manufacturing, and many more. The unit is aligned with the strategic domains of EPFL, and the Swiss Confederation. The CIS is a joint initiative of the School of Architecture Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC), the School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC), the School of Basic Sciences (SB), the Schools of Engineering (STI), and the School of Life Sciences (SV), which seeks to advance research and practice in the strategic field of intelligent systems.
