28 November: conference sessions in Toulouse
The conference sessions on 28 November 2019 were hosted by ENSIACET, Toulouse, a prestigious French Graduate School of Chemical, Materials and Industrial Engineering. The morning session was dedicated to an introduction on CST technologies for a wider public, while the afternoon conference aimed to present the challenges, results and achievements of the SOLPART project. Over 50 people attended the event.
