There are no registration fees. The seminars are therefore free and open to all. However, in order to allow us to better organize the event, we ask those interested in attending (to all or part of the series) to indicate this to us as soon as possible by sending a simple mail to gwenael.piganeau@obs-banyuls.fr and Marie-France.Sagot@inria.fr.
