Bureau français de Taipei will be holding the event on Thursday, 2nd May, starting from 18:30 at Taipei Info Hub (No. 265, Sec. 1, Zhongxiao W. Rd., Zhongzheng Dist., Taipei City 100, Taiwan (R.O.C.)) Diamonds are not only a symbol of luxury and “Bling bling”, it is also a shining topic for scientific research. To explore the crucial role this gemstone plays in science, we have invited two experts from Taiwan and France: Professor Huan-Cheng, Chang (Research Fellow of Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taipei), and Professor Jean-François Roch (École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay), to share the collaboration and development on this field of research between Taiwan and France! Jean-François Roch is the director of Quantum Saclay, the interdisciplinary center of the University Paris-Saclay dedicated to the academic and industrial development of quantum technologies. He is a professor of physics at Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay, where he leads a research team focusing on the use of diamond point defects. Together with Alain Aspect and Philippe Grangier, Jean-François Roch was part of the team that conducted the single-photon interference experiments for the observation of wave-particle duality, groundbreaking work that led the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to award Alain Aspect the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2022. He is a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France and an Overseas Fellow at Churchill College, University of Cambridge. Huan-Cheng Chang is a distinguished professor at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences of the Academia Sinica. He earned his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Indiana University Bloomington, USA, in 1990. For over three decades, he has been at the forefront of research intersecting physics, chemistry, and biology, aiming to develop new methods, tools, and technologies for addressing problems with wide-ranging applications. In 2005, he pioneered the development of fluorescent nanodiamonds containing NV centers. In 2019, Huan-Cheng Chang and François Treussart (ENS Paris-Saclay) were awarded the prestigious Franco-Taiwanese research prize of the French Académie des Sciences, for their research on the use of the fluorescent nanodiamond crystals in neuronal imaging, enabling significant medical advancements. Limited seats available, please register as soon as possible!

Covid-19 Policies Roundtable - 9 December 2021 16:00-18:00 CET (European University Institute, Robert Schumann Centre) - virtual panel


This roundtable, discusses "The Pandemic in Canada in Comparative Perspective" is part of a larger workshop held locally in Florence on "The COVID-19 Pandemic and the European Union" taking place on 9-10 December 2021. The online roundtable that takes place on 9 December 2021 16:00-18:00 CET, is chaired by Renaud Dehousse, President of the European University Institute, with presentations by Ailish Campbell, Canadian Ambassador to the European Union; Louis Pauly, University of Toronto; Frédéric Mérand, University of Montreal and Kathy Brock, Queen’s University.



Panel topic: the COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented worldwide challenges, to the international economic and political order, but also to the European Union (EU). In the EU we often are ill-informed about policies elsewhere around the globe. This four-person panel discusses COVID-19 policies in Canada -- a decentralised federal state, the second largest territory in the world, with different provincial health jurisdictions choosing their policies sometimes differently from one another. It also places the Canadian policy to COVID-19 in comparative perspective. This roundtable is specifically open to a wider audience of scholars, students and policy-makers who may attend this event virtually from around the globe.
