The ECIU Research Labs On-site Workshop will bring together at INSA Rouen researchers and support staff from across the ECIU University to strengthen collaborations, advance shared research agendas, and explore innovative and challenge-based approaches to research.
The workshop follows up on the online session held earlier in 2025. This previous session provided an opportunity for ECIU University members to lay the groundwork for collaborative research practices within the alliance.
This onsite meeting at INSA Rouen Normandie will provide a dynamic space to initiate new projects and collaborations. Only research groups whose projects were approved by the ECIU Vice for Presidents on 25/6 are invited to attend the on-site workshop.
The programme of the event is available at this link.
The event will start on the morning of 16 October 2025, and end in the early afternoon of 17 October 2025.
