Mondays at the ihedn

Presentation

Our once-occasional events are now becoming weekly and multi-faceted.

Every Monday, through its newsletter, the IHEDN will offer you either an invitation to a physical or remote conference, or a deciphering article. The aim is not so much the format as our ability to create an agile and permanent link between the Institute and you.
