The Scientific Images Exhibition 2024
Organized by the EPFL Center for Imaging in collaboration with CLIMACT
Our upcoming exhibition aims to showcase the extraordinary intersection of science and art, highlighting the awe-inspiring moments captured by scientists-artists enthusiasts. More thant 30 science images serve as windows into the wonders of the natural world, sparking conversations and fostering a deeper appreciation for the beauty and complexity of science. For its third edition, the EPFL Center for Imaging opens part of its exhibition to contributions related to climate change from EPFL and UNIL researchers and students, through a collaboration with CLIMACT, a joint UNIL-EPFL research center focused on this topic.
This exhibition is a dialogue between art and science: six artists also present works produced at EPFL and at the Dubochet Center for Imaging.
Who can participate?
The images submitted to the Center for Imaging are taken during research carried out on the campus and/or by EPFL researchers, students or other people working at EPFL and/or in an EPFL Lab. They relate to any field of research. Stay tuned for the deadline for the next edition!
Images related to climate change, in the broadest term, can be submitted by both EPFL and UNIL researchers, students or other staff members.
Participants must be the authors of the images submitted, or co-authors and have the permission of the other co-authors.
Which images are accepted?
Images can range from the very small to the infinitely large, they can also capture science in the making, technical aspects or researchers in the course of their work - with their agreement. Images can be taken with a camera (microscope, telescope, etc.) or computer-generated. Participants submit a maximum of 5 images.
What technical criteria must images meet?
