A neat and orderly laboratory is unlikely. It is, after all, so much a place of false starts and multiple attempts.”

Isaac Asimov

Working together with motivated, likeminded, diverse people creates a unique atmosphere that makes the project work fun and inspiring. REAL offers a creative space that fosters collaboration and innovation. It is also a safe space to share, discuss, and try out new ideas on how to best explain what it is you are working on.

Every March and October we start new cohorts for students working on their MA project and separate cohorts for researchers both at ETH and EPFL. Do you want to join us? Browse our open projects or contact us directly!

The idea for REAL was inspired by Jonathan and the golden lamp posts on Polyterrasse at ETH Zurich. It took shape with the strong support of the NCCR Automation directorate and management team. It owes its beauty and style to Silvio and its liveliness to the researchers and students. Thank you all for your contributions!
