Students want to invite the ocean on EPFL campus

L'expédition Atlantea se déroulera à bord du voilier Carlina, fourni à Sailowtech par l'association Ocean Trotter. ©Ocean Trotter To build awareness about the importance of oceans, Sailowtech, a student association, has launched a project to develop low-tech methods for collecting data at sea. The methods will be tested during a sailing expedition around the North Atlantic Ocean. Various EPFL labs are also involved. EPFL is venturing out into the wide open sea. The calls of seagulls nesting on campus rooftops already gives our School a slight seaside feel. But now, Sailowtech will bring the ocean into our classrooms and curricula through its Atlantea expedition.
