Prospective of the CNRS INP: Online feedback symposium – September 12 and 13, 2023.

L’Institut de Physique (INP) du CNRS a lancé en mai 2022 un travail sur sa prospective scientifique pour nourrir la réflexion sur l’évolution de la physique à l’horizon 2030.

Comme vous le savez, des groupes de travail questionnent, travaillent, rédigent, animent la réflexion sur 15 différents thèmes ayant été définis en décembre 2022.

Un colloque de restitution auprès de toute la communauté est prévu en ligne les 12-13 septembre 2023. Après une présentation brève du travail de prospective réalisé par les groupes de travail, la communauté pourra commenter et poser des questions sur l’ensemble des textes que les groupes de travail vont faire circuler auprès de leurs contributeurs.

Pour être tenus au courant en avance des textes de restitution, nous vous rappelons qu’il faut s’être inscrit sur le site de l’INP: https://survey.cnrs-dir.fr/index.php/131237?lang=fr

Pour assister au colloque de restitution, il vous faudra les 12 et 13 septembre cliquer sur le lien ci-dessous afin de rejoindre le webinaire :

https://cnrs.zoom.us/j/98526233592?pwd=NWJlZWVHWXhua2lpOWpQOThZLzdXZz09

Code secret : r05mWm

Cela vous permettra de suivre les présentations et de poser des questions (écrites) durant les deux jours de l’événement.

Le programme provisoire du colloque de restitution est fourni en pièce jointe: Programme_Colloque_INP-12&13Septembre2023

Après cette phase, l’Institut de physique utilisera les textes proposés et les remarques issues de ce colloque pour élaborer un document de prospective définitif qui sera disponible à la fin de l’année 2023.

Nous vous attendons nombreux en septembre, après une vraisemblable et surement bienvenue pause estivale !
