MICA's webinar series

INRAE's MICA division will host new webinar series.  

Dear colleagues and research partners,

The research conducted within INRAE’s Microbiology and Food Chain (MICA) division ranges from in-depth understanding of micro-organisms and their interactions to their applications across the food chain, animal and human health, and biotechnologies.

Convinced that today’s major food, health and environmental challenges call for open and collective reflection, the MICA division at INRAE is launching different series of scientific webinars dedicated to topics that engage our scientific community. These events will provide opportunities to share progress, combine expertise and foster new questions.

Our first series of webinars will focus on a rapidly expanding field: Synthetic microbial ecology.

We very much hope that many of you will join us for this first key moment, as well as for those that will follow, which will highlight other scientific frontiers explored by MICA. Together, let us bring this collective momentum to life, in the service of knowledge, innovation and sustainable transitions.

Christophe Chassard

Head of the Microbiology and Food Chain (MICA) division, INRAE
