École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne

Researchers at the PostCarWorld (EPFL), a team at the Lausanne Polytechnic have been exploring futuristic solutions to transport in urban areas. Their newest design is an accelerated network of optimal moving sidewalks. This is not a new idea. The first moving walkways were seen in Chicago in 1893, and seven years later they were used at the world’s fair in Paris.

Three Turkish universities - Koç, Sabanc? and Bilkent - have been ranked among the world?s best 100 universities of less than 50 years of age by the Times Higher Education (THE) magazine.

The universities were listed in the THE?s fourth annual ?100 Under 50? list for 2015 on April 30.
