Messages from RCQ dicastère

Dear all,
A rich Geonews for this fall, which attests to the dynamism and the individual and collective successes of our Faculty. Congratulations to the lucky recipients of research funds of the October round, among which prof. Steinberger as co-PI of an ERC Synergy grant.

La faculty is also preparing to host the 20th edition of the Swiss Geoscience Meeting. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those, notably prof. Villanueva and Adatte, who have invested time and energy in the organization of this event. The Faculty also sees its research support capacities strengthened, with the arrival of Dr Zhargalma Dandarova (data steward), Laure-Anne Pessina (dean's communication officer) and Flavio Calvo (computational scientist). Thank you for welcoming them.
Wishing you a nice automun!
