There are different ways to present the story:

• 3 years anniversary -> history, and take us to the next level (what do we do?)
• New lab -> more instruments needed (-80°C, ventilation, etc.)
• Minigrants to support projects
• portes ouvertes (event) pour devenir plus familier avec les Ateliers de Renens
