2026 Collective Expression of Interest Day

A day dedicated to exploring collective research interests is organized each year for researchers in the community. The goal is to identify new sub-themes by highlighting or initiating collaborations between researchers with complementary expertise, with the aim of proposing an ambitious, high-risk project.

This event takes place over one day:

• Short presentations by local volunteer researchers (collaborations and/or individual presentations) and external speakers
• Roundtable discussions on the proposed subtopics

This event helps refine the sub-theme for this year’s call for proposals, based on feedback from the community.

The next event will take place on January 15, 2026, at Genopolys.
