A Key Moment for IMP: The International Scientific Committee Visits on September 18–19, 2025

On September 18th and 19th, the IMP laboratory had the great pleasure and honor of hosting its International Scientific Committee for two days filled with rich scientific exchanges.

Full mobilization: permanent staff, PhD candidates, and postdoctoral researchers were all actively involved in showcasing the lab’s work and achievements.

The program included: presentations of major research areas by team leaders, thematic highlights from our colleagues, and a spotlight on our characterization platforms.

The committee was composed of internationally recognized experts:

  • Pr. Anthony J. RYAN, OBE, Physical Chemistry, University of Sheffield, UK – Chair of the Committee
  • Pr. Francisco Martin GOYCOOLEA, Cellular Biology and Histology, University of Murcia, Spain
  • Pr. Arthi JAYARAMAN, Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, University of Delaware, USA
  • Pr. Roberto PANTANI, Transport Phenomena, Industrial Engineering, University of Salerno, Italy
  • Pr. Alessandro PEGORETTI, Materials Science and Technology, University of Trento, Italy

These two intense and stimulating days took place in the prestigious setting of Château de Montchat (Lyon 3rd district), a 16th-century manor house beautifully restored by Viollet-le-Duc.
