EDITO

This newsletter, as well as LIRIMA website, are privileged places for sharing information between our research teams and our partners. We thank all contributors and invite everyone to publish news by sending the corresponding information to Laura Norcy.

It is also important to foster the scientific communication within LIRIMA but also with our external collaborators. For that purpose, we intend to create a "LIRIMA Seminar" that will consist in regularly scheduled online forums. Any LIRIMA member will have the opportunity to book a session by suggesting a topic and a list of persons to invite. To start with, such a forum would take the form of an audioconference combined with the sharing of documents but any suggestion of tools for either the conferencing system or the associated workflow is welcome.

The most recent news in LIRIMA's community are first, the success of the thirteenth edition of CARI in Tunisia, that was associated with a CIMPA-ICPAM Research School on the "Mathematics for Biology", and second, the fact that ARIMA journal moved to the Episciences platform. More information on these news can be found below.
