Major crises have historically accelerated trends. The current crisis has already accelerated the digitization of the economy, it will also play a role in accelerating the battle between visions of the world and economic models with divergent objectives.

We will address economic, societal and environmental (CSR) issues which, far from being theoretical, concern business leaders and through them citizens, consumers and public authorities.

On November 13, Nathalie Cabrol, Director of the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute, will participate in a panel discussion:

Hunt for life off Earth

They track down exoplanets, the formation of extraterrestrial bacteria, push the notion of "life" to its limits. We imagine them bent over dark data records, looking for the slightest variation in luminosity, analyzing a pixel on a satellite image… But we sometimes find them at the top of the Andes, for extreme dives in order to get closer to the conditions on Mars. Meeting with these fascinating researchers, dreamers of the extreme all driven by the same certainty: life exists, outside the Earth.
