A privilege and a pleasure for TRSC to be part of this panel on Red Sea #corals and how #science #diplomacy can be a key driver for their conservation. Thanks to @GESDAglobal for its invitation, and to @SwissMFA, @SwissMFAStatSec, @SwissEnvoyMENA for their support.

“A session on the use of science and diplomacy to save corals reefs looked at how climate change, pollution, and other human activities degrade these vital ecosystems.” (GESDA)

Looking forward to welcoming you at @EPFL in #Lausanne soon to talk about Red Sea corals, and how #Jordan and #Switzerland and joining forces to protect them, bridging #science and #Diplomacy. With the support of @SwissMFA, @SwissMFAmena, and many others
🚀Exciting days ahead as a group of journalists from #Jordan embarks on a #MediaTrip to #Switzerland! They will explore🇨🇭cutting-edge innovations &🇨🇭initiatives in #ScienceDiplomacy, #Sustainability and #ClimateChange. A great way to celebrate 75 years of strong 🇨🇭🤝🇯🇴 relations

Red Sea corals, also known as "Reefs of Hope": read (in French) the @ClubDiploGE column in this month's @Ageficom, written by Prof. Anders Meibom, Director of the TRSC at @EPFL.
Thanks to the Club for its invitation.
With the support of @SwissMFA.

If you happen to be in Geneva, don’t miss the photo expo at the lakeside about our expedition to the Red Sea. You will learn about corals 🪸 and the hard work of the team, including @josauder
A wonderful effort of science for diplomacy! @trsc_org @EDA_DFAE @EPFL_en @epflENAC

Congratulations @josauder for your achievement and such a groundbreaking innovation. Clearly a source of pride for you and @devistuia at @EPFL, and a critical tool for TRSC in the Red Sea as part of Swiss science diplomacy. @EDA_DFAE

Towards real-time 3D mapping of coral reefs with deep learning using only videos from cheap cameras, now published in Methods and Ecology and Evolution!
In short, we propose to use 3D mapping entirely driven by deep learning.

An artificial intelligence developed at EPFL can produce 3D maps of coral reefs from camera footage in a few minutes. It marks a leap forward in deep-sea exploration and conservation capabilities for organizations like the Transnational Red Sea Center.

À Djibouti, la #diplomatie rencontre la #science 💼🤝🔬
Des experts de l'@EPFL mettent en œuvre un projet de sauvegarde des récifs coralliens de la #MerRouge, soutenu par le @EDA_DFAE.
Unissant les pays riverains autour d'un but commun, ce projet promeut la #ScienceDiplomacy.

Plaider pour la conservation des coraux de mer Rouge est en effet in exigence si nous voulons espérer qu’un tel écosystème récital majeur survive. Merci à @PriseDeTerre pour son invitation.
Coup de projecteur sur le projet de diplomatie scientifique @EPFL visant la sauvegarde des coraux en mer Rouge. A écouter sur la @RadioTeleSuisse. rts.ch/audio-podcast/2023/au… Avec le chercheur Oliver Selmoni et le coordinateur Samuel Gardaz du @trsc_org.
