Workshop 2025

May 19 (2 PM) – May 21 (~12 noon)

Organized by CETHIL (CNRS, INSA Lyon, Université Lyon 1)

The main objectives are to favor:

– discussions with scientists whose expertise is likely to meet the scientific challenges addressed by the research network TREE,

– new actions and collaborations, in France and with colleagues from foreign institutions.
