♦ Focus on: "Major French research advances in biology presented by their authors" – public session

In October 2016, the French Academy of Sciences launched the 2017 edition of its annual call for proposals entitled "Major French research advances in biology presented by their authors". The Academy of Sciences will be selecting six young researchers/first authors who have contributed to major advances in biology in France and inviting them to present their findings in the Grande Salle des Séances at the Institut de France.

You are all welcome to attend the public session, which will take place on Tuesday June 6, 2017. At the end of the session, the selected scientists will be presented with the "Academy of Sciences – Major French Research Advances in Biology" award.

Each subject will be presented as follows:

- the research director will give a short introduction,

- the young biologist/first author will present his or her results,

- a question and answer session will be held with the speaker.
