Let’s come together! 
Organised with the aim of bringing together the entire EPFL space community, the EPFL Space Day began this morning with a welcome address by President Anna Fontcuberta i Morral. The morning saw a succession of speakers at the microphone: Emmanuelle David, who emphasised the importance of collaboration; Daniel Neuenschwander, who spoke about the future of space in Europe, Switzerland and at EPFL; and the student teams, who presented their cutting-edge projects. Galactic Chloé is our talented host and will be with us again this afternoon!

🚀 Surviving on Mars 🚀

Join Prof. Gisela Detrell, Professor of Human Spaceflight Technology at Technical University of Munich, for this EPFL Space Center Seminar:

📅 Wednesday, 25 February 2026
🕒 17:00 to 18:00
📍 Hybrid: EPFL Campus (Room CM 010) or online via Zoom

Prof. Detrell's research focuses on life support systems for deep space, especially using microalgae photobioreactors to sustain astronauts on long missions to the Moon or Mars. Could future crews grow their own food? Algae might be on the menu.

Prof. Detrell studied Aerospace Engineering at UPC and earned her PhD in Life Support Systems at Stuttgart and UPC. She led research at the Institute of Space Systems in Stuttgart before joining TUM in 2023.
