Pascal Brioist
Professor at the University of Tours, historian, member of the Centre d'Etudes Supérieures de la Renaissance, he completed his PhD at the European Institute in Florence and devoted his habilitation thesis to the relationship between mathematics and war in the 16th century. For more than fifteen years he has been a specialist in Leonardo da Vinci, to whom he has devoted numerous articles in three languages and various books, including Leonardo, a man of war (Alma, 2011). He has just written a volume for Stock publishing house entitled "Les Audaces de Léonard de Vinci" (release 2019). He is currently collaborating on the Making and knowing project at Columbia University (NYC). He has organized several exhibitions devoted to Leonardo da Vinci in Rombas, Nancy, Amboise (Clos Lucé) and Romorantin, in July 2019, one of which will concern imitation during Leonardo's lifetime to the present day. In 2015, he was the organizer of the reissue of a court party given in Amboise in 1518 by François the First and of which Leonard had been the scenographer (500 extras; https://marignan2015.univ-tours.fr/). With Intelligence des Patrimoines, he produced a web-doc entitled "Sur les Pas de Léonard" (https://renaissance-transmedia-lab.fr) .

François Niarfeix
Engineer by training, a start at Legrand then a few years doing bearings in our Fontenay plant before embracing the product development of sensor bearings which leads me after 20 years in different positions to lead the product development of our new "Rotation Equipment Performance" offer for the SKF group, i. e. 5 development centers dedicated to the development of capture solutions, connectivity and software development.
Daniele Dini
Professor Daniele Dini is Head of the Tribology Group at Imperial College London. Prior to joining Imperial College in 2006, Professor Dini studied for a D.Phil. in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford (2004). He now leads the advanced modelling research within the Tribology Group and collaborates closely with its experimentalists. His current individual research portfolio supports a large team of researchers focused on studies related to the modelling of tribological systems and materials. Most of these projects are multidisciplinary and range from atomic and molecular simulation of lubricant, additives and surfaces to the modelling of machine or biomechanical components. His group performs fundamental research, while successfully supporting the application of tribology in industry, the strong links with industrial partners have been recently recognised by the Imperial College President’s Award and Medal for Excellence in External Collaboration and Partnerships (2017). Professor Dini has also been the recipient of a number of other individual awards, he has also been elected a Fellow of the IMechE in 2014, and is the recipient of the prestigious EPSRC Established Career Fellowship, awarded in 2016.
