Lecture series for young scientists

The week before the meeting, a lecture series by senior researchers for young researchers will also be held, aiming to transfer knowledge and promote free and vigorous discussions. If you intend to participate to both the lecture series and the congress please thick the box on the registration form. If you want to participate to the lecture series only, please contact us.

The courses start on Tuesday and will be held at the PIAF laboratory at INRAE Crouel (5 chemin de Beaulieu, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand GPS: N 45.77482° E 3.14414°). More precisely, the lectures will take place in the Salle Gachon.

Students and speakers will receive a ticket for public transport, valid until the end of the congress. Transport is free during the weekend.

The INRAE is a bit far from the city centre and the congress venue, but it can be reached by bus lines 35 and 36.

The courses start at 9:00 evcery day. The preliminary program of the lecture series will include :
