GATES Talks | MaCI - Université Grenoble Alpes

The GATES Talks introduced in 2024 at the MaCI is a format event whose aim is to foster collaboration and exchange between the GATES fellows and the scientific community at UGA. Throughout the year, GATES researchers (fellows and postdoctoral fellows) in residence at the MaCI are expected to host conferences on various topics in the humanities and social sciences, offered in both French and English.

Some of these talks will be organized in collaboration with UGA researchers, fostering dialogue within the academic community. They will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in the morning or evening.
