LGF/LGL-TPE exchange half-day on July 3, 2024

On Thursday, July 3, 2025, the Georges Friedel Laboratory (LGF) and the Geology Laboratory (LGL-TPE) of Jean Monnet University invite you to a half-day exchange focused on materials characterization.

The objective is to present specific areas of expertise from our laboratories regarding microstructures, the behavior of our “materials” under “extreme” conditions, and the characterization of transformations using state-of-the-art tools down to the nanoscale available in Saint-Étienne, thereby fostering discussions and synergies between our teams.
