Meetings in 2020
Due to the Covid-19, no in vivo meetings were possible in 2020. All meetings were done by video-conferencing.
Meetings in 2021
In 2021, we continued having virtual meetings regularly, and organised two virtual workshops.
The first involved mainly the participants in Brazil and France of Capoeira. It took place on June 10 and 11. The program may be found here.
The second workshop was open to the outside (with registration required but free) and involved six Keynote Speakers at the international level. It took place on November 18 and 19. The program may be found here.
Finally, overlapping the latter workshop, Ariel M. Silber visited the French team in Lyon from November 1 until November 23. His trip was funded by another shorter USP-UdL project between the Brazilian and French teams that started on October 2020 and will end on December 2021. The visit to Lyon was preceded by a visit, from October 15 to November 1, to a collaborator of Ariel M. Silber at the University of Zaragoza, with whom the French team will also start discussing from now on.
Meetings in 2022
In 2022, we continued having virtual meetings regularly, and organised one virtual workshop.
This workshop was open to the outside (with registration required but free) and involved six Keynote Speakers at the international level. It took place on October 25 and 26. The program may be found here.
Ariel M. Silber visited the French team in Lyon from June 22 to July 3. Later in the year, it was then the PhD student Gabriela Torres Montanaro co-supervised by A. Silber and M.-F. Sagot who visited the French team in two different periods. The first one was from March 28 to June 12, and the second from September 11 to October 8. This second visit overlapped with that of two Brazilian researchers from another project in which Erable is involved, this one with the Instituto de Biologia Molecular do Paraná – Fiocruz-PR, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. This project is a Capes-Cofecub one whose acronym is Ahimsa. More information on it may be found here. The researchers who visited us were Letusa Albrecht and Scheila Cristina Nardelli.
Meetings in 2023
In 2023, we continued having virtual meetings regularly, and organised once again one virtual workshop, the third edition of the one organised in 2021 for the first time, and in 2022 for the second one.
This workshop was as before open to the outside (with registration required but free) and involved six Keynote Speakers at the international level. It took place on November 14 and 15. The program may be found here.
As in previous years, we had various visits, this time from both sides. From the Brazilian one, Ariel M. Silber visited the French team in Lyon from January 16 to March 19, and then once again later in the year, from September 14 to October 8. The first visit included a trip of A. Silber together with M.-F. Sagot to Lisbon, Portugal, in order to attend a school organised in the context of the H2020 Twinning project Olissipo which started in 2021. More information on this school may be found here.
The second visit of A. Silber overlapped that of the Brazilian coordinator of another project in which Erable is involved, this one with the Instituto de Biologia Molecular do Paraná – Fiocruz-PR, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. This project is a Capes-Cofecub one whose acronym is Ahimsa. More information on it may be found here. The Brazilian coordinator who visited us is Andrea Ávila who was in Lyon from September 26 to October 6.
Just before this second visit of A. Silber to Lyon, we had those of two other Brazilian researchers from the Capoeira project. The first involved the coordinator of Capoeira at the Instituto de Matemática e Estatística (IME) of the University of São Paulo. This is André Fujita, who was in Lyon from June 5 to 9. The second visit involved Renata Wassermann from IME also, and lasted from September 3 to 10. The visit of Renata was particularly important for our work on the 3rd Objective of Capoeira, namely knowledge representation and model revision.
Finally, this year, a member of Erable, the PhD student Maxime Mahout supervised by Sabine Peres, visited various researchers from Capoeira in Brazil, namely Ariel Silber, Renata Wassermann and André Fujita. This visit lasted from June 26 to July 10. Following it, Maxime, who will defend his PhD in November of this year, is considering applying for funds for a post-doctoral position at the University of São Paulo, in the laboratory of Ariel Silber in 2024 for a period of up to two years.
