The plenary conferences were organized by Stéphanie Buisine, Research Director at CESI LINEACT and co-head of the Learning and Innovation team, and Olivier Hamant, Research Director at INRAE (the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and the Environment). One of our PhD students also highlighted CESI’s commitment to the valorization of research.

In total, 67 publications, selected by the scientific committee, were presented in three parallel sessions, along with a session dedicated to PhD and Master’s students, 10 posters and a competition for the education award in innovation and entrepreneurship.

CESI’s contribution to the scientific community

Hosting this international conference aligns with one of CESI’s objectives to strengthen its contribution to the scientific community. This participation meets the requirements of the CTI (Committee for Engineering Qualifications) and Hcéres, the institution that certifies our laboratory (CESI LINEACT) and allows us to conduct research, thereby providing valuable exposure in the field of innovation.
