The CONNEX-TF web portal displays an arranged vision of the thematic Time & Frequency domain.

Users are invited to:
– navigate by Time & Frequency expertise or socio-economical stakes;
– search for specific keywords;
– look up the detailed and summarised cards of the involved structures;
– contribute to keep up to date and to enrich the public information.

According to the selection, users have access to:
– the map of the involved structures;
– the list of the involved structures and their specificities linked to the selection.

The CONNEX-TF project, which is driven by FIRST-TF, fall within the following aims:
– to give a larger visibility to Time & Frequency activities;
– to help with the network’s development, by identifying works to do in partnership;
– to encourage to share information in a national and international context;
– to enable the identification of expertise to develop and of promising sectors.

Romain CALDANI will defend his thesis on 18th of October 2019 at 10:00 am on the subject “Atom interferometry for simultaneous measurement of g and its vertical gradient”, realized at SYRTE under the supervision of Franck Pereira Dos Santos and Sébastien Merlet.

The defense will take place in the salle de l’Atelier of the Observatoire de Paris (77 avenue Denfert Rochereau, 75014 Paris).
