The SPIN Research Program is organizing its third Annual Scientific Day on May 18, 2026, at the Espace Van Gogh in Paris. This event will be an opportunity to bring together the program’s scientific community, review the year’s achievements, and look ahead to the program’s challenges, including the three-year evaluation.

On the occasion of its third edition, the SPIN Research Program is organizing its Scientific Day, an event dedicated to bringing together the scientific community, early-career researchers, and international guests. This day aims to foster exchanges, stimulate collaboration, and invigorate research around the program’s themes.

The event will be held at the Espace Van Gogh, an ideally located venue in Paris that is easily accessible, providing a conducive setting for scientific meetings and discussions.

Program highlights:

• Keynote presentations by distinguished guests, including Jean-Pierre Raskin, Professor at the École Polytechnique de Louvain (EPL), and Manuel Bibes, CNRS Research Director at the Laboratoire Albert Fert.
  
  
• Updates on various initiatives and advancements through presentations of collaborative and young scientist projects funded by the 2024 ANR call for proposals.
  
  
• We are honored to welcome Sylvie Retailleau, President of Universcience, who will deliver a talk on the reopening of the Palais de la Découverte. This will tie in with our upcoming major outreach initiative, "Un Chercheur, Une Manip" (One Researcher, One Experiment) which will be presented by Hélène Fischer, lecturer and researcher at the University of Lorraine.
