ZEISS and EPFL begin long-term research collaboration
Important goals of the collaboration
Thanks to the support from ZEISS, new research projects can be initiated and developed. Both parties want to launch and foster innovative projects together. The focus of the collaboration is on key technologies such as multidimensional imaging and data processing, multidimensional visualization, human-machine interaction and intelligent automation. A joint scientific committee will steer and oversee the projects.
This committee will also organize and present the ZEISS student awards for outstanding student research in photonics, optoelectronics, computational imaging and data analysis. Each winner will receive 3,000 Swiss francs (approx. 2,800 euros) for a dissertation and 1,500 Swiss francs (approx. 1,400 euros) for a master's thesis. Moreover, the three finalists in each category will also be invited to visit the ZEISS site in Oberkochen for a day.
Within the scope of the partnership, the relationships between researchers, students and employees will be taken to new heights through workshops and other forms of direct contact. This collaboration furthers the goal of the EPFL to closely link teaching and research with international companies such as Nestlé, IBM and Logitech. It also continues the ZEISS tradition of advancing leading innovations through close collaboration, especially with academic institutions.
