The SP’IN days is a meeting organized by the SP’IN (Student and Postdoc) association of the IGF that will take place the 24-25th November in Le Lazaret, Sète. Its goal is to promote networking among IGF early career researchers, as well as to provide a friendly place that allows to share their projects and be scientifically challenged. More than 60 researchers of the building will join and will present their work as oral or poster presentations.

To enrich the program attendees will have the opportunity to discover and learn about how close is becoming sci-fiction to the science of the bench. Under the theme “Sci-fiction in Sci-biology” several invited speakers will introduce their work about artificial intelligence and robotics:

  • Dr. Benoît Girard (CNRS, Paris) will participate by zoom for the talk: “Developing habits and sleeping over it: why (and how) should a robot do that?”
  • Dr. Stéphane Perrey and Dr. Gérard Dray (EuroMov digital health in Motion, Montpellier) will present about “Brain computer interface and Neurofeedback: physiological, neuroscientific and technological aspects”

Finally, there will be a discussion between experienced researchers in the public sector (Dr. Robert Quast, INSERM scientist) and the private sector (Dr. Lucile Hurault and Dr. Emilie Eiselt, Cisbio/Perkin Elmer) open to question, with the goal of advising young researchers on how pursue a career in science.
