EPFL Alumni invites you to join an online chat with André Borschberg, co-founder, CEO and pilot of Solar Impulse, 
The Solar Impulse project intends to achieve the first circumnavigation of the Earth by a piloted aircraft using only solar power. As one of the two pilots of the solar aircraft (together with Bertrand Piccard), André Borschberg set a world record for the longest ever flight after a five-day and 5,100-mile trip from Japan to Hawaii in July 2015. Currently halfway through its around-the-world tour, Solar Impulse plans to resume its flight in the spring of 2016.

During his online chat with the EPFL Alumni community, André Borschberg will elaborate on the technological and human dimensions of the Solar Impulse project and share his perception of EPFL. The School acts as a scientific advisor of Solar Impulse. 

The discussion will be moderated by Gregory Blatt, Managing Director of Solar Impulse and Aymeric Sallin, Chairman of the EPFL Alumni Advisory Board. The event will be held in English in order to involve our Alumni worldwide.
