Popularization

NANO-D participated to the 2015 Fete de la Science (science fair): SAMSON was used by high school students to perform various activities related to computational nanoscience.
Emilie Neveu participated with the AirSea team to the 2015 Fete de la Science (science fair).
Emilie Neveu is part of the group “Cafes Sciences et Citoyens de l'Agglomeration Grenobloise”, which organises public roundtables every month.
Stephane Redon gave a talk at TEDx Grenoble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atpigmv529E
