Scientific outreach day “LGF 2nd-year PhD students” 2024

On October 4, 2024, the traditional scientific outreach day took place, during which PhD students at the end of their second year presented their work. As always, the programme featured a wide range of topics, in-depth discussions, and a great deal of conviviality.

A tribute was paid to Johan Debayle, the laboratory’s deputy director, who sadly passed away in early September.
