Special EVENTS
Research Day
Each year, during a day, all the research teams of the Centre presente the findings of their most recent work and a guest investigator gives a conference associated to the theme of the day.
The 19th Research Day will take place on June 22nd, 2012. Book the day in your agenda and attend poster and oral presentations by CRHMR researchers.
Intern's Day
Every year, the CRHMR receives B.Sc. students for summer stages that last about three months. Toward the end of August, the Centre organizes a day in their honour during which they deliver a presentation on their research findings to the Centre’s scientific body. Awards are given to the best presentations.
The next Intern's Day will take place on August 2012.
