Future Earth regional workshop for Europe

13-14 mai 2013 - Fondation Simone et Cino del Duca, Paris

 

En 2013 les Bureaux Régionaux de l'ICSU ont organisé des workshops régionaux  au cours des derniers mois pour discuter ce que peuvent être pour leur région les nouveaux axes thématiques apportés par "Future Earth", mais aussi prendre la mesure des craintes que peut soulever cette transition. Le workshop européen "Future Earth Regional Workshop for Europe"  a réuni une centaine de personnes invitées, les 13-14 mai 2013 à Paris à la Fondation Cino del Duca (Institut de France).
