Science for all

ICI promotes science, and aims to make it accessible for everybody. ICI can organize events introducing numerical simulation and the high performance computing to different audiences. Several examples follow:

ICI organized in collaboration with Atlanpole a “high performance computing breakfast”. The Atlanpole network aims to create research clusters between universities and industrial actors, and actively promotes innovation in western France.

• More information on the event (in French)

ICI is involved with several learned societies. Among others, the AFM (French Mechanical Association) or the SFMN (French Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging) can be listed.

ICI can introduce its activities to large uninitiated audiences. ICI was represented by its director Thierry Coupez for a presentation within the framework of a TEDx conference given at Centrale Nantes in 2015.
