The Swiss Joint Research Center<\/a> is a collaborative engagement between Microsoft Research and the two universities that make up the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology: ETH Zurich (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> (Eidgen\u00f6ssische Technische Hochschule Z\u00fcrich<\/em>, which serves German-speaking students) and EPFL (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> (\u00c9cole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne<\/em>, which serves French-speaking students).<\/p>\n

The 6th annual workshop of the Swiss Joint Research Center was held on January 31 – February 1, 2019, at ETH in Zurich. Project Principal Investigators (“PIs”) from ETH Zurich and EPFL introduced nine new research collaborations, selected in the recent Call for Proposals, or provide an update on existing research collaborations.<\/p>\n
