This week, the Institut Necker Enfants Malades held its two-day retreat near Fontainebleau.

On this occasion, almost two-thirds of the institute’s members gathered to take part in the programme of scientific talks 🎤 – both academic AND popularization/accessible, a first for INEM! – and fun activities 🎉 organised by the HappyNEM association.

💡 Among these activities, a quiz involving members of the INEM GreenLab, Professional Equality and Scientific Ethics initiatives enabled all participants to reflect on and discuss these essential topics.

👏 INEM congratulates the winners of the prizes for the best oral and poster presentations!
1st prize for scientific presentation: Joanna RAZAFIARISON
1st prize for popularised presentation: Léane Lesbats
1st prize for poster: Corentin Ramaugé Parra and Morgane Wuckelt
