+**17.01 - 09.03.2025** For a good month and a half in early 2025
+the [EPFL Pavilions](https://epfl-pavilions.ch/) will host the exhibition
+**Shapes: Patterns in Art and Science**. This **outreach event** we co-organise
+in collaboration with two fellow mathematicians,
+[Hugo Parlier](https://math.uni.lu/parlier/) and [Marc Troyanov](https://people.epfl.ch/marc.troyanov),
+as well as help from colleagues in physics and the EPFL Pavilion team.
+Inspired by the works of the painter M. C. Escher we will explore
+the relationship between patterns arising in mathematics and various
+scientific fields such as biology and crystallography as well as contemporary art.
+
+An accompanying program of a kick-off symposium and guided tours will be organised.
+All is open to the general public. Everyone is very much encouraged to attend.
