Major updates (by decreasing dates)

DateDetails
18/08/2026 After several months of redevelopment, we are delighted to launch version 2 of the website!
The design has been completely overhauled to ensure compatibility with all devices, including smartphones.
The philosophy behind the website remains the same, as we were determined not to compromise the navigation principles simply for the sake of change (as is, incidentally, all too often the case on other websites).
There are, of course, still some minor tweaks to be made and improvements to be implemented, but the essentials are all in place.
We hope you enjoy browsing the website!
09/10/2023 Finalization of DOI insertion for bibliographic references.
This will make it much easier to search for publications online.
To date, 6093 DOIs have been inserted.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you want to add a new DOI!
