On December 20th 2017, in the presence of Jean-Pierre BOURGUIGNON, President of the European Council of the Research (ERC) we invited ERC grantees to present their results, advances and ambitions. A precious opportunity to share their views on the future of their disciplines, discuss the best way of guaranteeing the economic and societal impact of the researches led in Inria Nancy Grand – Est Center as well as is and at our academic partners.

In 2017, Inria’s 50th Anniversary gave us the opportunity to introduce multiple meetings and exchanges around digital sciences and the possible futures unfolding before us.  After opening our doors to the public during the “Fête de la Science” (Festival of Science), we chose, in the very end of the year 2017, to highlight the researchers who work on some problems and scientific stakes, which possible results might impact the digital world of tomorrow. 

We encourage you to discover these various interventions by watching the talks given during this celebration.
