| | EPFL-Alinghi Scientific Partnership |
 | | In March 2003, the magnificent Swiss yacht Alinghi carved her way through five races to victory in the America's cup, the sailing world's premier event, giving the cup a European home for the first time in 150 years. |
 | | The America's Cup yacht concept, Alinghi, is the brainchild of Ernesto Bertarelli, CEO of Serono International SA. |
 | | This benefits us all, because research results obtained in the Alinghi partnership also create a valuable "platform of knowledge" that can then be used to bring the benchmarked technology to a variety of other industries. |
