A look back at the Hors Les Murs 2026 seminar

From 21 to 23 January 2026, more than 130 of us gathered at Le Lavandou in the Var for our seminar on a number of aspects of our organisation and operations.

On the programme: workshops on the organisation of future centres, discussions on setting up eco-responsible actions and on non-violent communication. We also discussed concrete issues, such as optimising sample collections, the link between training and research, scientific culture, cross-disciplinary scientific actions to strengthen synergies between research teams, and of course despite the bad weather, we enjoyed some outdoor and festive activities.

The seminar concluded with a review of the various workshops, with a view to drawing up a roadmap of concrete actions that we will share with you over the coming months. We are also preparing a report so that those who were unable to attend can find out about the work done. 

A big thank you to the participants and facilitators for their creativity and energy, which made these three days a real laboratory of ideas for the future of CEREGE and a great moment of cohesion and sharing.
