COS.2021.11.30

This period of activity (December 2020-November 2021) was once again shaken by the health crisis still underway with the establishment of mixed occupancy of the premises (telework and face-to-face) and the cancellation of most events. Despite the context, the ISCD team-projects affiliates have managed to achieve significant progress in research and training. Most seminars, workshops and meetings have resumed in hybrid mode early April, in our new premises.
REMOTE PARTICIPATION

Members of the Scientific Advisory Council are invited to join the session via Zoom application.
