On Wednesday, December 3, we welcomed Stéphanie Legoupy, scientific attaché at the French Embassy in Prague, to the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences at Slovanka.
The aim of the meeting was to establish contacts between French scientists working in the Czech Republic, promote the exchange of experiences, and strengthen scientific cooperation between France and the Czech Republic.
