2-Organization of GRS meetings
GRS meetings are held in general on the second Tuesday of the month. Meetings last for two hours and are organized around two to three presentations and a discussion.

Invited speakers may be any researcher working in the field of HIV / AIDS, on the campus or in other institutions.

The topic of each meeting is chosen for its current interest and importance, independently of its representation on the campus. The topic does not necessarily concern HIV / AIDS in the strict sense, but may be chosen to broaden our perspective on HIV / AIDS research.
Possible topics and speaker names can be proposed to the organization committee (see the contact page).

For each meeting, the organization committee invites two to three speakers that work at the Pasteur Institutes or in exterior organizations (INSERM, CNRS, hospitals of the AP-HP, members of coordinated actions of the ANRS, the National Agency for AIDS Research, ...).

Presentations are followed by a discussion, which is moderated by a researcher with authority in the field, but who does not necessarily work on HIV / AIDS.

GRS meetings are announced by posters on the Paris campus and are listed on the Pasteur Institute web site, on the seminar page and on the GRS news page.
