Kick Off Meeting
In April, 2009, took place the kick off meeting of the Cross Talk program. During three exciting days, students met with scientific researchers and were introduced to the Cross Talk program. The first day allowed students to get to know each other, to share experiences. During the evening, students had the opportunity to have an insight into the city of light.
On the second day, the 28th of April, the 17 research projects were presented by the supervisors.
Finally, the last day, opened to a broader public, was dedicated to diverse issues. The Cross Talk program was presented, scientific and general subjects such as educational networks or the role of industrial partners were addressed.
We had also the great pleasure to welcome famous scientists, such as Pierre Chambon, Denise Kelly, Finn-Eirick Johansen, Hauke Smidt or Samuel Bottani.
