You are about to publish? The remaining thing to do is to sign the article, indicating your institutional affiliation.

Follow the institutional guidelines :

"When research work carried out entirely or partly at EPFL is published, EPFL must be mentioned in the address given. This institutional affiliation information must conform to the standard EPFL address format :

Laboratory X, or Institute Y
École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) Station Z
CH-1015 Lausanne

1- EPFL professors who also work in another institution of the EPF Domain and those holding dual professorships must indicate both affiliations in their publications.

2- Bodies that contributed to the support of the project must be mentioned in accordance with their regulations."

Excerpt of the Directive concerning research integrity and good scientific practice at EPFL (LEX 3.3.2), status as at 1st January 2013.

Why is this so important?

If your institutional affiliation is appropriately indicated, your publishing activity will be taken into account in case of bibliometric analysis or evaluation of the research you do within your laboratory and institution.
Incomplete or incorrect affiliation = poorly classified publication.
For future funding applications, this could be important!
