Living at the limits – France-Arizona perspectives on global environmental challenges
IGLOBES is a CNRS international research laboratory established at the University of Arizona, with ENS-PSL a partner since 2018. At this symposium, researchers engaged in France-U.S. collaborations through IGLOBES will address environmental research topics with major societal implications. Past and current students will also share their experience working with IGLOBES and using Arizona and the western United States as a “living lab”.
Programme
Opening by Annick Lesne (CNRS) and ENS-PSL representatives.
