Interstellar Institute 5 With two eyes

The Interstellar Institute (I2) is a CNRS International Research Network. Its goal is to produce new scientific breakthroughs and to lead the study of complex physics of diffuse baryonic matter, focusing on theoretical and data science approaches, rather than on designing instrumentation and conducting observations. I2 runs a yearly 3 or 4-week intensive working session where 50-60 scientists meet at the Institut Pascal (IPa) in Orsay, combining its core members with visiting scientists, to foster new ideas and interactions.
