Outreach

The group is committed, well-trained and championing in outreach activities with diverse

and international communities.

Because of the pandemic, we established a new series of seminars entitled

"Between chemistry and physics: popularizing science and technology".

Weblinks with the audio and video files from these seminars will be soon available on this page.
