10 ans du LINK : l'unité de recherche franco-japonaise

Il y a 10 ans, un partenariat scientifique avec le National Institute for Materials Science de Tsukuba au Japon a permis la naissance d'une Unité Mixte Internationale (UMI) du CNRS sur les matériaux et les structures clés innovants, associée au groupe Saint-Gobain. Installée au Japon, l'UMI 3629 LINK (Laboratory for INnovative Key materials and structures) a comme unité miroir en France l'Institut des sciences chimiques de Rennes.
