Research and education lie at the heart of the IMS Laboratory’s mission. Over the course of three days, the 2025 seminar brought together the IMS research groups’ leaders and coordinators of educational programs linked to the lab. The goal was to build stronger connections by encouraging meaningful discussions and shared moments of conviviality.
“By its very nature, the IMS Laboratory is highly multidisciplinary. It is essential to strengthen ties between our research activities and the educational programs we contribute to, in order to spark new ideas and make the most of the many collaborative opportunities that may emerge. With this event, we aim to reaffirm IMS’ role as a driving force uniting scientific research and education.”
– Cristell Maneux, Director of the IMS Laboratory.
