Résif organizes a workshop on scientific instrumentation from July 3 from 12 noon to July 5 at 2 pm, in Brissac (34) in a pleasant setting conducive to exchanges. These meetings are open to all researchers, students and engineers interested in geophysical instrumentation.

This workshop will be an opportunity to bring together the scientific community working on measurement methods used in geophysical instrumentation. These techniques come from various fields such as optics, electromagnetism, particle physics, acoustics or signal processing, and give rise to original developments, sometimes little known in the geophysical community.

Thus, it is important to bring together the actors of this movement beyond Résif, to cross experiences and methodologies, in order to foster inter-disciplinary collaborations between geophysics, physics, material sciences laboratories, and industrialists involved in geophysical instrumentation. Discussions and exchanges will be structured around posters, oral presentations and workshops on basic and applied research results, and on the technology transfer of today’s and tomorrow’s instruments.
