Participation of TAPPI Student Chapter in the TAPPI Student Summit

Initially scheduled from 15 to 17 January, in Cincinnati, Ohio (USA), the TAPPI Student Summit took place remotely, due to health restrictions, from 19 to 20 February. The members of the TAPPI Student Chapter (Benjamin DEMONCY, Elise RUIZ, Charlotte EGEL and Florent RUBIO-CONTI), an association of Grenoble INP-Pagora student engineers linked to the Technical Association of the Pulp & Paper Industry (TAPPI), took part in the event from behind their screens, with a six-hour time difference.
