Lancement officiel des chaires internationales WILL
The kick-off event will serve as the official inauguration of the 11 International Chairs launched up to now, highlightingY their significance and innovative research and will therefore consist of concise pitch presentations of each chair's subject matter.
The event will be conducted entirely in English. Following the presentations, we invite you to join us for a friendly cocktail reception, where you can engage in discussions with both our distinguished researchers and your fellow colleagues.
