The first annual workshop on LéXPLORE platform gathered more than 50 researchers around 13 multidisciplinary projects.

On 13th November 2019, the steering committee organized the first workshop around LéXPLORE at UNIL in Géopolis building. A great success with over 50 participants! The day was divided between presentations of the first results and presentation of new projects for 2020, each were followed by answers to questions. Three discussion groups came up with propositions on data management, education and use of new technology.
The 13 projects showed a large multidisciplinarity, ranging from ecology, physics, biogeochemistry, robotics and micro-engineering. A least 3 projects will develop and test new technologies. This conference allowed great networking opportunities for researchers and promoted future collaborations.
