The Global Challenge Science Week - 2019 Edition
The Global Challenge Science Week brought together nearly 700 participants over four days: representatives of the local socio-economic world, as well as a large community of French and international scientists. Together, they shared the latest results of their research, compared them with other disciplines and created new collaborations with the aim of providing essential answers to four major challenges of the 21st century: sustainable planet and society; health, well-being and technology; digital technology; and understanding and fostering innovation.
