M4S events
The Materials for Society (M4S) Interdisciplinary Center offers a variety of seminars and conferences for the materials science community at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris.
Invited Professors Seminars
To help strengthen the international reputation of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, the interdisciplinary center Materials for Society (M4S) has launched a call for "Visiting Professor" positions. This initiative aims to bring internationnaly renowned researchers to enrich the academic and scientific life of our laboratories and schools.
AI & Materials Seminars
Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly major role in our societies, and the scientific directors at the Materials for Society Center wanted to develop and structure existing initiatives at IP Paris laboratories on issues related to materials. To launch this initiative, M4S is organizing a series of internal seminars so that people working at the intersection of AI and materials can get to know each other and exchange ideas.
This new seminar will be held monthly, on the third Tuesday of each month, at lunchtime (12:30 pm to 2 pm). It is intended for IP Paris laboratory staff and is not open to outsiders. Meetings will preferably be held in person, but a video conference can be organized on request.
