Almost one year ago, the department was delighted to welcome student delegates visiting the campus from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. They were accompanied with Dr. Franco Vigliotti, the Dean of EPFL Middle East campus in Ras Al Khaimah (UAE). He was invited again this year to give us an insight about their institute in Lausanne and the ongoing research projects. Dr. Vigliotti pointed the collaborative projects done by researchers in the RAK branch. He gave a brief about the future directions and goals for establishing their research campus in the UAE. Its mission is the development of leading edge research programs, graduate and post-graduate educational programs, and technology transfer interfaces with the industrial and economic base in the United Arab Emirates. The project will give the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah and the United Arab Emirates the high-level research and teaching resources necessary for tackling technological challenges that the region will be face in domains such as energy and sustainability as stated by the Swiss Business Council (SBC) in the UAE.
