Bulletin interne de l'Institut Pasteur
The Giens Workshops serve as a think tank for discussions on topical issues in the field of pharmacology and clinical research, with the aim of facilitating therapeutic innovation and evaluating health technologies.
Every year in October, six round tables are held on the Giens peninsula, attended by academic, industrial and institutional specialists.
The Institut Pasteur signed a partnership agreement with the Giens Workshops in 2016. This partnership gives the Institut Pasteur a say in the choice of scientific issues discussed and the experts invited to participate. It also gives the Institut Pasteur the role of hosting the Giens Workshops feedback and discussion day in March every year.
