About Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne

EPFL, the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, is a university in Lausanne, Switzerland. Its homepage describes three core missions: education, research and innovation. The site publishes news and profile articles about the school, a list of upcoming events for the general public, and visitor information. The source says EPFL offers training to more than 15,000 students and has over 500 laboratories and research groups on campus.

The homepage is an institutional information site, not a service for ordering or accessing programs. It shows some content in French, and the stated open-source calculator is described as a program that labs can use, not as a feature of the website itself.
