To mark International Women’s Day on 8 March, EPFL officially named squares and streets on its Lausanne campus after pioneering women in scientific and engineering fields. On 8 March, EPFL added the names of seven distinguished women to its campus map at an official ceremony attended by Nuria Gorrite, the president of the Vaud Cantonal Government, and Christian Maeder, the mayor of Ecublens. Martin Vetterli (EPFL President), Gisou van der Goot (Vice President for Responsible Transformation) and Julianne Jammers (Managing Director of the SwissTech Convention Center) welcomed key figures and dignitaries to the event. Among them were relatives and descendants of the seven female pioneers – a list that included four Swiss women.
