October 9 (2 PM) – October 11 (~12 noon)
LTeN (Nantes Université – CNRS – POLYTECH Nantes)
The main objectives were to favor:
– discussions with scientists whose expertise is likely to meet the scientific challenges addressed by the project-team,
– new actions and collaborations, in France and with colleagues from foreign institutions.
