Promoting Scientific Activities

Scientific Events: Organisation

• Marie-Laure Mugnier is co-responsible for a national group (2017-2020), named Reasoning on Data (Rod), common to two GDRs (CNRS research groups), namely Artificial Intelligence (formal and algorithmic aspects of Artificial Intelligence) and MaDICS (Big Data, Data Science). The aim of this action is to gather researchers from different domains on the development of knowledge representation and reasoning techniques devoted to data exploitation. http://www.lirmm.fr/rod/

• Rallou Thomopoulos has been co-leader of the trans-unit program InCom (Knowledge and Model Integration) of the CEPIA Division of INRA from 2018. She also organised the session on “Digital Issues” in the 2019 annual seminar of INRAE-TRANSFORM research division, and she was co-organizer of a one-day workshop on data-mining for food and bioproduct processing research on the 25th of November 2019.

• Patrice Buche is a coordinator of the IN-OVIVE (INtégration de sources/masses de données hétérogènes et Ontologies, dans le domaine des sciences du VIVant et de l’Environnement) network. He also was one of the organisers of the Fifth IN'OVIVE workshop event (https://workshop.inra.fr/in-ovive-2019/), collocated with the IC 2019 conference.
