Solar Impulse is a Swiss long-range solar powered aircraft project being undertaken at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The project eventually hopes to achieve the first circumnavigation of the Earth by a piloted fixed-wing aircraft using only solar power. The project is led by Swiss psychiatrist and aeronaut Bertrand Piccard, who co-piloted the first balloon to circle the world non-stop, and Swiss businessman André Borschberg.
Piccard initiated the Solar Impulse project in 2003. By 2009, he had assembled a multi-disciplinary team of 50 specialists from six countries, assisted by about 100 outside advisers. The project is financed by a number of private companies. The four main partners are Deutsche Bank, Omega SA, Solvay, and Schindler. Other partners include Bayer MaterialScience, Altran, Swisscom and Swiss Re (Corporate Solutions). Other supporters include Clarins, Semper, Toyota, BKW and STG. The EPFL, the European Space Agency (ESA) and Dassault have provided additional technical expertise, while Bay Area based SunPower provided the aircraft's photovoltaic cells.
That's where many riots between anarchists students and the police took place in Thessaloniki. The Univeristy looks destroyed but there's still a lot of people studying here every day. Parties are thrown every weeks by anarchist students right on the hallway of the school.

"Nef pour quatorze reines" Formerly Parc Troie. Was renamed Place Du 6-December-1989.
The École Polytechnique Massacre, also known as the Montreal Massacre, occurred on December 6, 1989, at the École Polytechnique de Montréal in Montreal, Quebec. A 25 year-old man, Marc Lépine, entered the campus and carried out a shooting rampage in which 14 women were killed and 14 other people were wounded, before turning the rifle on himself and committing suicide.
« Nous évoquons ainsi, avec force, leur nom et leur prénom de façon que toute personne qui passe par là cherche à les lire, à les répéter et ne les oublie pas. »
(We forcefully evoke their names, so that everyone who passes by may read them, repeat them and never forget them.)

Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne.
Newest building on the campus, fancy architecture with slopes and holes.
Location is probably École-Militaire St.-Cyr (St.-Cyr l'Ecole, southwestern edge of Versailles). First year students of the École Polytechnique were commissioned military reserve officers and they must have spent the year at St.-Cyr (their own school had no open fields) learning military drill, combat, engineering, etc. As far as I know, they still do. I'm assuming this and other photos of exercises are at St.-Cyr.
Earlier I thought this location was the Champ de Manoeuvres at Issy (now the heliport of Issy-les-Moulineaux), just southwest of Paris. It became the army's main parade ground after the Champ de Mars was given over to the Expositions of 1889 and 1900, and would be a logical place to hold exercises. But the rolling hills are more like the terrain around St.-Cyr l'Ecole, which is an even more logical place to hold military exercises, as they do now.
This photo could have been taken during the Centenary, in which case Étienne (X 1894) might appear in some of these pictures. At graduation exercises, parents might be taking pictures. There are civilians in the pontoon bridge photo and in the stereo photos in this set. If these are first-year cadet exercises, it's probably 1892. If all the photos in the set were of the same exercises, the presence of a modern-style bicycle rules out 1886 or 1888.
Another possibility is the Grandes Manoeuvres of mid-September 1894, around Paris, as mentioned in the 16 and 23 September issues of Le Petit Parisien.

A crowd gathered Dec 6 to remember 14 female engineering students killed at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1989. Standing in solidarity on the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women in Canada, they listened as the women's names were read after being reminded violence against women continues daily. Organized by Ann Davis Transition Society and UFV, the event was hosted at UFV's Five Corners location in downtown Chilliwack.
