We would like to thank all the people who participated directly or indirectly in the success of this 32nd edition of the Département de sciences biologiques’s Symposium which was held on Friday March 25.

We were very happy to welcome more than 150 people at the IRBV to share the research being done in the department.

We also thank the four speakers of our conferences who came to talk about greenwashing and ecology. Thanks to Alison Munson, Annie Levasseur, Nicolas Chatel-Launay and Yves-Marie Abraham!

A total of 46 communications from students in the department were presented (from undergraduate to graduate students), including 24 oral presentations, 4 video capsules and 18 posters, in addition to a photo competition.

In order to reward the excellence of the research carried out within the Department, these communications were the subject of an evaluation by a jury of voluntary professors, allowing us to award prizes for the best poster, video and oral presentation.

We would therefore like to congratulate once again the students who stood out during the symposium.
