Press coverage3

EPPCN meeting on 18-19 May

- Good media coverage despite a restart on Easter Sunday.

Late submission of the press release by the CNRS but journalists had already

prepared their papers before the weekend.

- There were very good articles and podcast in Le Monde, Le Figaro,

Libération, France Inter (in “La tête au carré” of Mathieu Vidard) {Science²} (a

blog of the newspaper Liberation).

and next…

We hope an higher impact in the local press during the first

high-energy collisions and encourage our laboratories to more actively communicate at

that time.
