IAP colloquium
The institute organizes every Friday at 11 am  a one-hour colloquium on a specific subject, during which an internationally renowned guest researcher presents his or her work in front of the institute members or from other laboratories throughout the Ile-de-France region. These colloquia are reserved for researchers belonging to research laboratories (anyone else is welcome to attend the public conferences).
