The excellence of the Ecole polytechnique fédérale in Lausanne is regularly illustrated in international rankings, and even more so by what it actually produces. It oversees the Human Brain Project, whose research involves leading scientists from over 100 European universities and research centers, while one of its spin-offs, called MindMaze, became the country’s first ever "unicorn" (a start-up that has gone on to be worth at least a billion US dollars) in 2016. The EPFL also houses the Swiss center of competency for fundamental and applied research into robotics, the brand-new Trust Center for cybersecurity, and the Swiss Data Science Center run jointly with the ETH Zurich.
