Workshop from a collaboration between the 4 ENS and the IISER network
Since 2016, the IISER (Indian Institutes of Science for Education and Research) network - Berhampur, Bhopal, Kolkata, Mohali, Pune, Tirupati, Thiruvananthapuram - has started a formal collaboration with the four French ENS: Lyon, Rennes, Paris and Paris-Saclay.
In 2021, despite the global pandemic, the IISER network is proud to publish positive results, including the annual ENS/IISER internship program, which allows ENS to host several students each year in its laboratories, and several highly satisfying bilateral visits that have helped strengthen scientific collaboration and diplomatic relations.
