Epfl Ecal Lab

Redefining innovation at the intersection of technology, culture and human perception, the EPFL+ECAL Lab is the design research centre of the EPFL (Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne), located in the building of ECAL (University of Art and Design Lausanne). The lab’s creative approach, combined with scientific methodologies, has opened new perspectives in fields including health, media, museums, security and immersive environments. Projects aim to produce working prototypes as well as knowledge about adoption factors to define disruptive, yet impactful and sustainable outcomes. This work is developed in collaboration with companies, public institutions, foundations and universities.
