Tribology and Surfaces Interactions Summer School
In many engineering situations, material surfaces are brought into contact and experience relative motion, i.e. they form a tribological system.
Mastering tribological phenomena (friction, lubrication and wear) is nowadays gaining special relevance due to concern for sustainable development. Indeed, improved consideration of tribological principles enables longer durability and reliability of devices, more savings of energy and resources and therefore more efficient use of materials, equipment or infrastructures.
This course is intended to give participants (graduates, researchers and industrial professionals) a solid background in tribology and surface interactions. It covers the fundamentals concepts of tribology including surfaces, contact mechanics, friction, lubrication and wear, the description of different techniques for multiscale wear analysis (experimental and computational) and application examples illustrating how to use the theoretical background in engineering practice. At the end of the course, participants will have the tools to identify and to approach tribological systems combined with appropriate material selection and surface design.

SMLMS 10th edition will take place August 31 – September 2, 2021 as a hybrid event.
The scope of SMLMS is to bring together scientists from Europe and abroad working in the field of SMLM and other emerging imaging modalities.
During the 2016 SMLMS conference we organized 3D SMLM Software Challenge, that provided a holistic view of how the latest 2D and 3D single molecule localization software perform in realistic conditions.
For the 10th edition, we organized a “Cluster AnalysisShowtime” https://smlms.epfl.ch/cluster-analysis/showtime-2020/ and will hold a special session to focus on novel methods for cluster analysis as well as on the emergence of community-driven, reliable metrics.
This year’s event also showcases applications where cluster analysis significantly impacted biological discovery. Join the community at this Slack discussion.
SMLMS has a tradition of hosting distinguished keynote speakers such as Prof. William E. Moerner (2012), Prof. Marcus Sauer (2013), Dr. Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz (2013, 2016), Prof. Stefan W. Hell (2014, 2019), Prof. Daniel Choquet (2015), Dr. Eric Betzig (2015), Prof. Antoine Triller (2015), Prof. Taekjip Ha (2016), Dr. Harald Hess (2017), Prof. Katarina Gauss (2018) and Prof. María García-Parajo (2019). We are happy to announce Prof. Peng Yin and Dr. Virginia Cornish as 2020/2021 distinguished keynote speakers.

Challenging Inequalities: Retreat organized by the Swiss Young Academy
Creating space for First-gen/BIPOC/Jewish/Migrant Early Career Researchers
Early Career Researchers (ECRs) who are part of socially marginalized groups have been identified as particularly vulnerable to the logics of the neoliberal university as they additionally face discrimination. The three-day retreat invites ECRs who identify as first generation academics and/or Black/Indigenous/People of Colour/Jewish/Migrants to co-create a transformative space where participants can openly talk about their experiences, debate institutional politics, foster solidarity, and build mentoring relationships.
Collectively, we will identify systemic obstacles, which should be addressed institutionally so that inequalities and precarity in Swiss academia can be combated.
You can participate if you are a PhD student or postdoc affiliated with a Swiss academic institution, and self-identify as first-generation academics and/or BIPOC/Jewish/Migrant.
The participation will be free of charge and accommodation and travel will be provided. Although the main language of the retreat will be English, we do not expect a perfect mastery of English, and ad hoc support will be provided.
The retreat will be facilitated by a wide range of experts, including senior scholars and academia-adjacent professionals from different disciplines who themselves identify as first-generation and/or BIPOC/Jewish/Migrant.
If you are interested, please sign up at https://forms.gle/Qe3Adg7VqXr3x95P9. (deadline July 15)
