Highlights from our 50th anniversary year

As 2019 draws to a close, we take a look at some of the special events that marked the past year. EPFL was founded in 1969, when the Ecole Polytechnique de l'Université de Lausanne (EPUL) changed its name and joined ETH Zurich as Switzerland's second federal institute of technology. Throughout 2019, the School held a series of events to mark its 50th anniversary. As this celebratory year comes to an end, we look back at some of the highlights - all captured for posterity in a permanent online album at celebration.epfl.ch. B for Book. To mark this special year, EPFL commissioned three renowned photographers - Catherine Leutenegger, Bogdan Konopka and Olivier Christinat - to explore the campus from multiple perspectives. The resulting book , which captures science, buildings and people in their full glory, is like a special gift: one that the photographers gave to EPFL, that EPFL gave to itself and to the public, and that people can give to each other.
