WELCOME TO THE CLASS OF 2019!

The new class of PhD students and post-doctoral fellows have joined the IAP in the fall of 2019.

During the welcome meeting that was held on November 6th, the IAP directors presented the activities of the lab and the organization of research in France. The diversity of the subjects that will be addressed by these young researchers is large. Representative of this fact, their work at the IAP is funded by many sources: ministerial scholarships (including specific contracts for students from the Ecole Normale Supérieure and the Ecole Polytechnique), a scholarship from the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), scholarships from the DIM ACAV+ of the Île-de-France Region, a scholarship from the Inria, scholarships from the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) and from the European Research Council (ERC) (to find out more, see Partnerships). The entire staff of the IAP wishes them a fruitful stay, and many rich scientific exchanges.

The laboratory also congratulates the new doctors, who recently left the Institute at the end of their theses.
