Admission is free, and the conference will be followed by light refreshments. Speakers from the City of Lausanne, the Canton of Vaud, Unisanté, and UNIL will be in attendance:

This conference is part of the “Capt’air” citizen science project, which aims to inform, raise awareness, and engage the residents of Lausanne through various initiatives, including the construction of fine-particle sensors to be placed on windowsills. These sensors will supplement the systems already in place by the authorities to measure outdoor air quality and facilitate collective discussion of the data.
