Annual outing SAC-EDOC Teams | Visit at Campus Biotech in Geneva
For the traditional annual outing of the SAC and EDOC teams, this year we headed to EPFL Geneva at the Campus Biotech. We had the privilege of discovering this state-of-the-art facility, learning about its history, and exploring its main research areas and projects. We also enjoyed a closer look at three laboratories (INL, LSBI, MIP:Lab) and learned more about the research currently being carried out by our PhD candidates. We then traded science for sport, enjoying a friendly mini-golf tournament and some lively team competition, where a few hidden golfing talents were revealed.
Our sincere thanks to everyone involved for the excellent organisation, warm welcome, engaging presentations, and valuable discussions that made this visit such a rewarding experience.
