Last Updated: 16 June 2022

The MPO science coffee is a monthly meeting to exchange and discuss the activities of our extended team (thematic team + second affiliation MPO engineers + invited research staff from the MPO mailing list), share important results, recent updates, and exciting findings around a coffee. The configuration of these meetings is informal with different types of intervention, from the presentation of a topic by a given team member or guest to the scientific forum, including a round table to discuss our works, foster the scientific animation, and stimulate the internal and transverse exchanges of the MPO team. As these meetings will take place at lunch time (1pm), feel free to bring you own lunch if you wish.

Guillaume DOYEN and Raphaël POURCELOT are in charge of the MPO science coffee.
Feel free to contact them if you would like to present your work.
