SUMMARY:EPFL Space Center - Seminar series: Surviving on Mars
DESCRIPTION:EPFL Space Center Seminar series\nSURVIVING ON MARS\nFuture human missions to the Moon or Mars require sustainable life support systems that can provide oxygen\, water\, and food with minimal reliance on Earth. \nUnlike the ISS\, these missions will face longer durations and greater distances\, demanding far more autonomous systems. Integrating biological components\, especially food-producing systems\, is a key challenge and opportunity. Microalgae are promising candidates due to their high photosynthetic efficiency\, nutritional value\, and contribution to oxygen and water recycling. Current research explores whether ISS technologies can be adapted for deep-space missions and what innovations are needed. A central question remains whether astronauts will rely on stored food or grow their own\, maybe with algae as part of the menu? \nProf. Gisela Detrell‘s field of research is the development of technologies to enable human spaceflight\, with special focus on Life Support Systems Technologies (specially on the use of microalgae photobioreactors for oxygen and food production for long duration missions)\, human spaceflight simulation (for example with conceptual design studies of future human spaceflight missions to the Moon or Mars) and human spaceflight performance (for example with the development of Virtual Reality tools\, to develop and improve training strategies). \nProf. Detrell studied Aerospace Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) and completed her doctorate in Life Support Systems reliability analysis for long duration space missions at the University of Stuttgart (Germany) and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in 2015. She continued her research at the Institute of Space Systems in Stuttgart\, leading the research group since 2018. In 2023 Prof. Detrell was appointed to the professorship for Human Spaceflight Technology at TUM.

SUMMARY:ESDI Workshop: Space x Data
DESCRIPTION:ESA’s European Space Deep-Tech Innovation Centre (ESA’s first office in Switzerland) is bridging Swiss scientific excellence with commercial relevance. One approach for this is to host ambitious\, use-driven research programs in the topics of quantum\, materials\, and data science for space. \nWith the quantum-themed program running and the materials project selection completed\, the focus is now on developing an exciting program around the still very broad topic of “Space x Data”. To narrow the scope and to ensure this upcoming program supports ambitious technological challenges where Swiss and European excellence can shine\, the input of the scientific community is invaluable. \nJoin us to learn more about ESDI and its “Phi-Lab” research program platform and how you can help shape the scope of a multi-million-funded program and increase the chances of your most exciting topics to be represented in the call later this year. \n\nAGENDA:\n10:30-12:00 – Workshop with Jennifer Wadsworth (places are limited – registration mandatory) – EPFL AI Center – Room ELE 117 \n12:00-13:00 – Lunch break (no lunch will be provided\, participants are welcome to go on campus for lunch) \n13:00-15:00 – 1:1 meetings with Jennifer Wadsworth (20 minute slots – upon registration only\, only 6 slots available – first come first served) \n			\n							REGISTRATION

SUMMARY:Conférence publique UNIGE-EPFL: "100 ans d'astrophysique stellaire" - Voyage au centre des étoiles
DESCRIPTION:Au début du 19ième siècle\, quelques esprits brillants pensaient que la nature des étoiles resterait à jamais au-delà de notre compréhension. Cette croyance fut balayée au milieu de ce même siècle quand il fut possible de décoder les messages contenus dans leur lumière. En résultèrent de grands progrès\, et le cœur des étoiles se dévoila. Le livre d’Arthur Eddington\, paru il y a 100 ans\, « La constitution interne des étoiles »\, a synthétisé de manière magistrale les connaissances acquises à cette époque. Cette conférence évoquera quelques étapes de cette aventure intellectuelle. Elle se poursuivra par l’exposé de quelques découvertes récentes et se terminera par une brève présentation des défis d’aujourd’hui. Au final\, les étoiles apparaîtront comme des structures très paradoxales\, à la fois simples et complexes\, lointaines et très proches\, familières et incroyablement étranges.\n\nIntervenant: Professeur honoraire Georges Meynet \nDate: 21.05.2026 / 18:30\nLieu: EPFL Campus\, BCH 2201

SUMMARY:From Earth to the Stars
DESCRIPTION:Et si la Data était le langage secret qui permet à l’humanité de repousser les frontières de l’inconnu ?​\nLe temps d’une soirée exceptionnelle\, le DatAfterwork vous invite à un voyage de la Terre aux étoiles\, là où chaque trajectoire\, chaque décision et chaque découverte repose sur des milliards de données invisibles à l’œil nu. \nL’événement accueillera un ingénieur aérospatial\, qui reviendra sur son expérience unique lors des lancements des fusées Ariane 4 et Ariane 5. Il partagera les coulisses de ces missions hors normes et expliquera comment les données sont utilisées pour modéliser\, ajuster et sécuriser la trajectoire d’un lanceur\, où la moindre variation peut tout changer. \nLa soirée se poursuivra avec l’intervention d’un astrophysicien\, qui nous plongera dans l’exploration du ciel et la cartographie de nouvelles étoiles. De l’observation des signaux faibles à l’analyse de volumes massifs de données cosmiques\, il montrera comment la Data permet aujourd’hui de mieux comprendre l’univers et d’élargir notre connaissance de l’espace. \nUne rencontre entre science\, technologie et imaginaire\, pour rappeler que la Data n’est pas seulement un outil de performance\, mais aussi un vecteur d’exploration\, de précision et de rêve. \nAu programme :\nData’News\nAvec Philippe Nieuwbourg: l’actu Tech & Data de la semaine\, décryptée avec rigueur et une pointe d’humour. \nData’Talk\nLe moment où nos experts monteront sur scène pour partager un retour d’expérience ou la présentation de leurs projets.\nJean-Paul Kneib\, directeur académique de l’EPFL Space Center nous plongera dans l’exploration du ciel et la cartographie de nouvelles étoiles. De la détection de signaux faibles à l’analyse de volumes massifs de données cosmiques\, une démonstration fascinante de ce que la Data permettra de découvrir dans l’univers.\nPuis Christophe Verbaere nous emmènera dans les coulisses des lancements d’Ariane 4 et Ariane 5 : comment la Data modélisera\, ajustera et sécurisera la trajectoire d’un lanceur\, là où la moindre variation pourra tout changer. \nData’Jobs\nAvec Candice Valembois: le moment où nous parlerons des opportunités du marché et où nous mettrons en lumière de supers candidats issus de notre réseau. \nData’Meet\nAnimé par Damien Gauthier\, avec Le Big Data Quiz : des questions autour de la Data\, de l’espace\, des fusées et des étoiles pour apprendre\, échanger et rencontrer de nouvelles personnes dans une ambiance fun et interactive. \nData’Live\nMusique et networking pour clôturer la soirée dans une ambiance festive.  \n  \nPlus d’infos: https://www.datafterwork.com/event/from-earth-to-the-stars-16/register
