• Bruno Cessac has co-organized the conference Inspire New Insights on Complex Neural Dynamics, Cergy-Pontoise, France, June 2018 https://inspire2018parisseine.wordpress.com/

• Bruno Cessac has co-organized the scientific event 2nd structuring event UCA Cognitive systems, normality and pathology of the human brain, computational neuroscience http://univ-cotedazur.fr/events/deuxieme-rencontre-c@uca

• Selma Souihel and Evgenia Kartsaki participated to the organizing committee of "Le MOnde des Mathématiques Industrielles (MOMI 2018)", a two-day workshop on applied and industrial mathematics. The workshop took place on the 26th and 27th of February, 2018 at the Inria Sophia Antipolis-Mediteranée research center. It was supported by Inria and financed by the Société des Mathématiques Appliquées (SMAI) as a BOUge tes Maths (BOUM) project, by the Agence pour les Mathématiques en Interaction avec l’Entreprise et la Société (AMIES) and by the Labex User Centric Network @ Sophia within the context of Investissement d’Avenir (IA) projects – projets “Laboratoires d’excellence”, and by the Université Côte d’Azur within the context of the “Joint, Excellent and Dynamic Initiative” (JEDI) projects. In total, 3 keynote speakers, 8 industrial speakers and 80 participants (researchers, PhDs , and engineers) attended MOMI 2018.

• Pierre Kornprobst was a Technical Program Committee (TPC) member for the 25th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2017).

Bruno Cessac was a reviewer for the conference ICMNS, International Conference on Mathematical NeuroScience .

• B. Cessac, D. Karvouniari, L. Gil, O. Marre, S. Picaud. Multi scale dynamics in retinal waves, in: Inspire New Insights on Complex Neural Dynamics, Cergy-Pontoise, France, June 2018.

• B. Cessac, Ion channels and properties of large neuronal networks: a computational study of re.nal waves during development, in: Symposium on Ion channels and Channelopathies - IPMC, Sophia Antipolis, France, November 2018.

• The PhD Seminars of Inria Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée are organized and held by PhD candidates every two weeks and aim to share knowledge, and to promote collaborations, all in a friendly and interactive way. Selma Souihel and Evgenia Kartsaki are current members of the organizing committee have been involved in the scheduling, communication and diffusion. These tasks include calls for presentations, calendar planning and promotion of each seminar. Finally, they are also involved in the organization of the MOMI 2018 conference.

• Bruno Cessac is a member of the scientific council of the Institut NeuroMod de "Modélisation en Neurosciences et Cognition".

• Pierre Kornprobst is an elected member of the Academic Board of UCA (since November 2015). The role of this council is to proceed with the appointment of selection committees and the recruitment of public servants. Also, it validates the global training offer of Nice area, is involved in the global policy of doctoral training, and awards research funding. The council meets one a month and each member also participate to the evaluation of research proposals submitted to UCA${}^{\text{JEDI}}$ calls.

• Pierre Kornprobst has been a member of the Comité de Suivi Doctoral (CSD) since March 2017.
