***The video recordings of the first webinars are available HERE***
The FORMAL winter webinar series will be organise remotely between February and March 2022.
It gather a series of four webinars (Tue Feb 10th, Feb 24th, Mar 10th and Mar 24th) of 1 hour (14h-15h CET), including 3 presentations each (12+8 minutes), dedicated to observing and modelling ocean life. All interested colleagues working on big data and/or modelling and/or marine sciences are welcome.
Practical aspects
- Mandatory registration HERE (to receive the connection link!)
- The presentations will be given in English.
- For technical reasons, the number of participants will be limited to 100.

About FORMAL
FORMAL aims to study the dynamics of life in the ocean at various spatial and temporal scales. It is a junior projet-team sponsored by the Institut des Sciences du Calcul et des Données (ISCD; http://iscd.sorbonne-universite.fr/) of Sorbonne Université (SU). FORMAL gathers members of various laboratories from SU (LOCEAN, LOV, LJLL, LBI2M, ISYEB, AD2M, LOMIC). To stay informed of our future activities, please register here.
