Since 2016, the ACELI has initiated a new series of events, the ELI meetings: an institutional communication channel for conveying information about the resources available, the methods used and the diversity of the research conducted in all research groups of our institute.
The goal of such meetings is thus to get ELI researchers to know each other better and encourage cross-disciplinary collaborations within the whole institute (see the speaker's guidelines). It will also be a good opportunity to share and advertise the research carried on in the institute to Master students who will be invited.
ELI meetings, academic year 2017 – 2018:
· Image analysis - December 15, 2017
