The EPFL+ECAL Lab is a new unit of the EPFL (Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne) in cooperation with ECAL (University of art and design Lausanne). Its mission is to foster innovation at a crossroads between technology, design and architecture.

On its premises across two floors in the new ECAL building in Renens, the EPFL+ECAL Lab offers training as well as innovation projects and partnerships with industry.

The Lab bases its activities along three axes:  giving new meaning to technologies developed in the labs, fuelling innovation by widening the scope of designers' work and forming new links between research and applications for society.
