International Competition
Faire comprendre la recherche, son importance et ce qu’elle peut apporter, va de pair avec la science, lui donne un sens au-delà de « la connaissance pour la connaissance ». Et voir une étincelle d’intérêt ou de compréhension s’allumer chez son interlocuteur n’a pas de prix!
