In addition, 4 technical visits were organized: the ALGOSOLIS platform of UMR GEPEA on the production and bio-refining of micro-algae, a joint visit to ONIRIS-GEPEA and the INRAE center in Nantes, a visit to AGRONAUTE in Nantes on the theme of urban agriculture and the circular economy, and the "MAD4AM" 3D printing cluster at Hall 6 in Nantes. The remaining 500 papers were presented as posters in 2 sessions. The ICEF14 congress lasted 3 and a half days, and was preceded by the "Young Scientists Workshop" organized on Monday afternoon June 19 to help PhD students and recent graduates prepare for their future careers and develop their networks.Ī total of 750 papers were presented, with 250 oral presentations spread over 6 parallel sessions, including 8 plenary presentations. A very strong French representation (177 participants or 28%) was followed by a strong Brazilian delegation, which can be explained by the strong links between Oniris and several Brazilian universities. Participation was highly international, as the graph above shows.
