On Monday 13 and Tuesday 14 January, the Liryc Institute welcomed the members of the Scientific Advisory Board for the 3rd edition of the Scientific Workshop organised by the IHU. An opportunity for Liryc researchers to present their research projects and their latest advances.

Every 3 years, this scientific workshop allows the multidisciplinary teams to discuss on their works and to benefit from the expert viewpoint of the Scientific Advisory Board in order to advance their project. Indeed, the Scientific Advisory Board’s mission is to give an opinion on the Institute’s main scientific orientations and its annual action program. Besides, Liryc also had the pleasure to welcomed two new board members, Barbara Casadei and Katja Zeppenfeld.

The days were punctuated by magisterial presentation sessions in the amphitheater and a poster exhibition.
