Leadership within the Scientific Community

• Member of the steering committee of the International Conference on Grammatical Inference.

• The team was involved in the foundation of a national working group on the symbolic study of dynamical systems named bioss [web access]. The group gathers more than 170 scientists, from computer science to biology. Three meetings were organized this year. The group is supported by two French National Research Networks: bioinformatics (GDR BIM : bioinformatique moléculaire) and informatics-mathematics (GDR IM : Informatique Mathématique). It gathered twice in 2017: for a general meeting in Montpellier (Mar. 2017) and for a workshop focused on links between systems biology and artificial intelligence in Orsay (June 2017).
