“Humanitarian aid is a key sector in which EPFL can bring tangible skills.” “This collaborative effort is in keeping with the humanitarian tradition of French-speaking Switzerland. EPFL has been carrying out joint projects with the ICRC for several years, and our new initiative with ETH Zurich and the ICRC gives our work added meaning because we know what we do will have a concrete, positive impact on people’s daily lives.” – Martin Vetterli, EPFL President
