ENS de Lyon will welcome five scientists from different departments of Academia Sinica for a half-day symposium on Mechanisms and Evolution of Living Systems on July 2, 2026, in the SVT Auditorium, Monod Campus.

Academia Sinica, Taiwan’s premier national research institution, comprises more than 30 research institutes and centers. It is a major hub for scientific innovation and international collaboration and plays an important role in shaping science and technology policy.

The symposium is intended to foster new scientific interactions and strengthen collaborative links between ENS de Lyon and Academia Sinica.

The half-day program spans a broad range of topics, from evolutionary biology to cell biology and physiology, offering opportunities for discussion across disciplines. The symposium promises to provide a stimulating and enriching scientific exchange.

The visiting scientists from Academia Sinica will be available for discussions over two days: the afternoon of July 2 and July 3, for one-on-one meetings and laboratory visits.

This represents a valuable opportunity for ENS de Lyon members to establish new connections with Taiwanese colleagues, engage in scientific exchanges, and explore potential avenues for future collaborations.

Members of ENS de Lyon are warmly encouraged to attend the meetings and take advantage of this opportunity. To arrange a meeting, please contact Kiran Padmanabhan at kiran.padmanabhan [at] ens-lyon.fr.
