Scientific Mediation

“Cellule Culture Scientifique d’AMU”: Jeune chercheuse en informatique (Young researcher in computer science)

Les portraits Chercheur·se en classe racontent le parcours de jeunes chercheuses et chercheurs à travers 4 dates clés, de l’enfance à leur travail de recherche actuel.
