STD JA26 FairCarboN (4).png

 

From 13 to 16 October 2026, the annual conference of the FairCarboN national research programme (PEPR) on carbon in terrestrial ecosystems will take place. The aim of this conference is to bring together the PEPR scientific community in a warm and welcoming setting to foster collaboration amongst participants. The event will take place at L’Escandille in Autrans Méaudre, in the Vercors. Accommodation and meals will be covered by the FairCarboN programme. Rooms will be shared.

If you have any questions, please contact us at the following address: communication@pepr-faircarbon.fr.

Attendance at the event is free this year. By registering, you are committing to attending: each booking involves reserving meals and accommodation, and a failure to give notice of absence or a last-minute cancellation will have a significant logistical, environmental and human impact. We are therefore counting on your sense of responsibility!
