Staff Week
Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region provided funding up to €15,000 to IPL for the organisation of a Staff Week targeted to international university partners of the IPL schools.

After two online editions in 2021 and 2022, we have been happy to organize 2023 Staff Week edition live in Lyon, in October 2023.
