SF2A Plenary session


Scientific rationale

Plenary sessions are an important part of the Journees de la SF2A. They give an overview of astronomy and astrophysics in France through the invited scientific reviews of the national thematic programs, talks on national scientific planning, and presentations of general interest to the french astrophysics community. They are also a time for discussions about teaching of astronomy and public outreach as well as debate on french science policy and how it fits in the international context. Lastly, the general assembly of the SF2A, one of our major events, is held during the plenary sessions.


Scientific committee

Corinne Charbonnel (president SF2A) , Céline Reylé (vice-president SF2A), Daniel Rouan (vice-president UAI-SF2A), Réza Samadi (general secretary SF2A), David Valls-Gabaud (deputy secretary SF2A), Samuel Boissier (treasurer SF2A), Denis Burgarella (deputy tresearer SF2A), Stéphane Basa (SF2A), Jonathan Braine (SF2A), Jürgen Knödlseder (SF2A), Denis Puy (SF2A), Hervé Wozniak (SF2A).
