Scientific events

november 15 to 19, 2021

What are large-scale present-day biodiversity patterns? How did evolutionary history influence these patterns? What can past evolutionary events tell us about the biodiversity response to global changes? How to plan efficient and ethical biodiversity conservation strategies? If you are also curious about these questions, join our hybrid* event Ecology Autumn School in Laboratoire d’Ecologie Alpine from 15th to 19th November 2021.
Our event is open to all young researchers in ecology (PhD (…)

Friday, January 31, 2020 - 10h // IGE (Grenoble)

In framework of H2020 SCARBO program : OSUG, 10am.
Summary
Europe pioneered the remote sensing of the greenhouse gases (GHG) CO2 and CH4 with SCIAMACHY on ENVISAT from 2002 to 2012. This time series on greenhouse gases from space was and is continued by space based greenhouse gas sensors from Japan (GOSAT), US (OCO-2), China (TANSAT) and most recently Europe (Sentinel-5 Precursor). These data sets make it possible for the first time to examine distributions of sources and sinks of (…)

20th to 24th January 2020 // Grenoble

Important societal issues require to solve problems in mechanical and process engineering of increasing complexity. A key vector of progress relies on multi-scale and multi-physics approaches. The aim of this winter school is to make an overview of the different approaches, numerical and experimental techniques allowing to tackle this complexity. The school is open to PhD students, Post-doctoral researchers, R&D engineers and all attendants with a background in mechanics. All the courses (…)

december 2 to 20, 2019

This three weeks school will consist of several courses in the multiple disciplines involved in ACO plus hands-on projects. Its goal is to provide a common ground to PhD students and prepare them to the highly interdisciplinary environment of in astrochemistry and the Solar System formation.
The school is mandatory for all ACO PhD students and will be open to a limited number of PhD students from Europe.
Overview of the courses: Instruments to detect and study molecular lines in the (…)

june 17 - june 28, 2019

Because of its strategic alpine position, the Université Grenoble Alpes is a major international research center in Mountain studies. Combining methods and knowledge from the sciences, the humanities, and social sciences, Of Mountains and Men welcomes undergraduate and graduate students from all disciplines seeking novel, interdisciplinary approaches to complex questions with a series of field trips and coursework.
The OSUG @ 2020 labex is a partner of this event. Web page of this event

may 14 to 17, 2019

The Grenoble University Space Center (CSUG) organizes scientific and industrial workshops during the Grenoble NewSpace Week from 14 until 17 May 2019.
This workshop focuses on advanced payloads, subsystem designs, their standardization, and supporting technology like data management, data analysis, and artificial intelligence that together make highly ambitious NewSpace missions possible in different fields like: Earth observation, climate studies, space weather, or exobiology.
As such (…)

february 3 to 8, 2019

In nature as well as in many technical applications, one encounters the sometimes problematic phenomenon of intermittent dynamics, associated to avalanches, that are complex geometrical objects on scales that can span many orders of magnitude. This workshop aims at bringing together experts from various different fields to develop further the understanding of the nonlinear spatio-temporal response of avalanche systems and to find ways to define precursors that could help to prevent (…)

November 12 to 14, 2018

The AMMA-CATCH observatory invites you to an international conference on the occasion of its 30th anniversary. The expected participants are researchers, teacher-researchers, doctoral students and decision-makers.
Global changes are taking place on our planet. They concern the critical zone of the earth system, and occur at different scales. Their impacts on the energy and water cycles are already detectable, but how will these changes persist in the future and at which rate?
Three (…)

September 20, 2018

Speaker: Reinhard Genzel (MPE Garching & UC Berkeley)
The Center of our Galaxy is a unique laboratory for exploring the astrophysics around a massive black hole and testing General Relativity and other theoretical concepts in this extreme environment. I will discuss the results of a major campaign of observing the Galactic Center in 2017/2108 with three instruments at the European Southern Observatory’s VLT, including the novel GRAVITY interferometric beam combiner of the 4 UTs. (…)
