Lunchtime Meetings goes 3-D
For those who were unable to join us, the links below provide a good overview of our recent Lunchtime Meeting.
IGL Director and Assistant Professor of Computer Science
On November 1st 2013, “Lunch Meetings” visited Prof. Dr. Olga Sorkine-Hornung, Director of IGL, located at building CNB. The lucky early birds that were invited to join this meeting were treated to various presentations covering 3-D-shape modeling/animation software and 3-D printed objects with applications for the film industry, medical technology and architecture. Individual experimenting, playing and sharing was also possible.

Kontakt über Mittag /Lunchtime Meetings
“Kontakt über Mittag” was first established three years ago, in 2010. The IT Services (ITS) has more than 200 employees who are spread out in about 15 different buildings. “Kontakt über Mittag” provides an opportunity for cross-departmental activities in small groups. During these lunchtime meetings we get to meet interesting personalities, learn about exciting research at ETH and visit historical or simply fascinating parts of ETH Zurich. All ITS employees are welcome to join. Participation is limited and on a first come first serve basis.
