Dr. Peixinho giving briefing at LOMC

On 20 September, staff from the JSPS Strasbourg Office visited the University of Le Havre to hold a program-introduction meeting at its Laboratoire Ondes et Milieux Complexes (LOMC). This laboratory has been selected as one of the most excellent in France by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research under its program "Investments for the Future (Investissements d'Avenir)." It plays an important role, along with laboratories in Rouen and Caen, in advancing the fields of energy and material sciences in the Normandy region.

The meeting included a presentation on JSPS's international programs and talks by three former JSPS fellows: Prof. Bernard Deconihout of the University of Rouen, vice-president of the JSPS French Alumni Association, and Dr. Jorge Peixinho and Prof. Ioan Schneider of LOMC, each of whom enthusiastically introduced his unique and valuable research experiences in Japan, arousing the interest of the young researchers in the audience. After the meeting, the JSPS members held further discussions with Prof. Cyrille Bertelle, vice-president, and Prof. Cristian Nichita, director of the International Relations Department, University of Le Havre, to encourage even closer cooperation between France and Japan.
