EDIC - Computer and Communication Sciences

The Doctoral Program in Computer and Communication Sciences (EDIC) covers all areas of computer science and of information and communication theory. It spans across theoretical approaches to interdisciplinary applications of artificial intelligence, data science, computer systems, cybersecurity and visual computing. With roughly eighty faculty members across campus affiliated with the program, it is one of the largest and most competitive doctoral programs at EPFL.

The justice system is part of community health with more overlap than one might expect. So just as we've done with healthcare, how can we shift our approach in justice settings to be more preventative and proactive rather than reactive? It starts with support. Not only for the justice-involved, but for those providing support on the front-line as well.

Dr Hayley Passmore is a Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Western Australia Law School and a justice health researcher. Join us as we speak about Hayley's journey to justice health, reframing how we support youth and neurodisability in our communities, and how these human-centred approaches create better outcomes for everyone.

Dr. Roberta Bondar: Canada's First Woman in Space 👩‍🚀🚀

In 1992, Dr. Roberta Bondar became Canada's first female astronaut in space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. A neurologist and researcher, Bondar conducted experiments on the effects of spaceflight on the human body. Her journey inspired many young Canadians, particularly women, to pursue careers in science and technology. 🌎 #Canada #RobertaBondar #WomenInSTEM
