Report on the third Technology Department Open Day

The third edition of the Technology Department Open Day, held on November 7, was a resounding success, with the participation of all 36 platforms and core facilities, UTechS, Hubs and collections within the Technology Department, as well as the teams from the Grants Office, Technology Transfer and Industrial Partnership Department (DARRI), Department for Scientific Programming and Incentive Actions (SPAIS), Human Resources Department as part of the certified training course, and PhD Programs Office.

The informal event continued with tours of the platforms and core facilities, giving several Institut Pasteur staff the opportunity to find out more and discuss their specific needs with the engineers and technicians from the Technology Department.
 
Furthermore, several guests invited from the research units and core facilities at the Institut Curie and the Institut Imagine also came along for the event.
 
In total for this third edition, the platforms and core facilities received nearly 200 visitors!
