Who oversees the smooth running of a cooperative laboratory? 🛰️

At TéSA, the Association Board meets every two months. It reviews the research laboratory’s activities.

📅 On October 16, it welcomed a new representative from Thales Alenia Space, a partner member of TéSA. @didier Leboulch becomes Secretary of the Board, alongside President @Thierry Floriant and Treasurer @Elias BITAR, and succeeds @Xavier O., whom we warmly thank for all his involvement.
