ISIS goes green – Climate and sustainability awareness day

ISIS is hosting its first “Climate and Sustainability Awareness Day,” open to all staff based at ISIS and CESQ. This special event will be an opportunity to deepen your understanding of key issues related to climate change and biodiversity, and to exchange ideas on best practices in scientific research.

As part of our celebration of the UN Ocean Decade and France’s Year of the Sea, we are honoured to welcome Dr. Laurent Bopp, a world-renowned climatologist and oceanographer, and a Member of the French Academy of Sciences, who will give a keynote conference.
