On The November 4, 2024

The Collegium de Lyon, the Université de Lyon’s Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS), introduced its 2024-2025 research fellows on Monday, November 4 in the main lecture hall of the MILC (Maison internationale des langues et des cultures). On this occasion, the resident researchers for the academic year presented their research themes.

The Collegium de Lyon welcomes international researchers for a fellowship of one or two semesters, in order for them to carry out an original research project in a privileged setting, while integrating into the research networks on the Lyon Saint-Étienne site.

The presentation of the 2024-25 cohort of Collegium researchers was held on November 4, 2024, in the presence of Gabriele Fioni, Deputy Rector for Higher Education, Research and Innovation, and Nathalie Dompnier, President of the Université de Lyon.

All the researchers in residence for the academic year brilliantly took up the challenge of presenting their research project in 280 seconds, in front of a large audience composed of representatives and members of the Université de Lyon institutions.

The 17th class of the Collegium de Lyon covers around ten disciplines, for which the researchers will work in close collaboration with 10 laboratories on the Lyon Saint-Étienne site.
