  • “Grand European Symposium: Training, Research and Innovation in the Europe of Health”
    “GRAND EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM: TRAINING, RESEARCH AND INNOVATION IN THE EUROPE OF HEALTH” September 30th, 2021 Live from the Sorbonne’s Grand Amphitheater, Paris, France, and in multiplex with partner European universities and research centers Health is involved in many global and strategic challenges. These challenges are increased by the Covid-19 pandemic and by all pandemics in general, but they are also tied to ageing populations, climate change and economic, societal and social crises. Everywhere in the world health is found at the heart of citizens and government leaders’ preoccupations. Also, and perhaps more than any other sector, Health must face the information crisis, the relativism of values and the questioning of knowledge and science. The fears and concerns tied to the health crisis and to the economic difficulties associated with it have a sometimes negative influence on the population’s perception of health, medical and scientific questions. 1 Lastly, health news and the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic may have dramatic effects on the lives and health of young people, especially on students, that are confronted with a crisis which prevents them from having social interactions, immerges them sometimes in economic precarity and keeps them from peacefully building their future. In this context Europe is affirming itself as a solution to face current and future health issues. Having health education and research as its base, the “Europe of Health” will certainly be able to better respond to future sanitary crises but also to offer new perspectives to caregivers and young Europeans worried about the future. Building an efficient, attractive and ambitious European health model that is capable of collaborating with other world powers would bring Europeans together around a common project and a European identity based on Health, Research and Education.

To reduce environmental impacts, researchers propose the use of dyes from natural sources. The purpose of using these is to impart new attributes to textiles without compromising on environmental sustainability. The attributes given to the textile can be color and/or other characteristics.

The central theme selected for this meeting, “Bioengineering of Toxins”, gave rise to two thematic sessions: one on animal and plant toxins (one of our “core” themes), and a second one on bacterial toxins in honour of Dr. Michel R. Popoff (Institut Pasteur, Paris, France), both sessions being aimed at emphasizing the latest findings on their respective topics. Nine speakers from eight countries (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Russia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America) were invited as international experts to present their work, and other researchers and students presented theirs through 23 shorter lectures and 27 posters.

  • Syllabus France-Malvieu 2018
    MALVIEU: A MEDITERRANEAN HILLFORT OF THE EARLY 1ST MILLENNIUM BCE, FRANCE Course ID: ARCH 365X July 1-July 28, 2018 FIELD SCHOOL DIRECTOR: Alexis Gorgues, University Bordeaux Montaigne [email protected] INTRODUCTION The site of Malvieu occupies the higher part of a limestone hill, dominating the small valley of the Salesses in the heart of the Montagne Noire (Black Mountain) in southern France. It is located on the Mediterranean side of the mountain, about 60 km away from modern-day Narbonne and 45 km from Béziers. In the lowlands, close to the sea, emerged a dense settlement during the 6th century, of which the predominant feature is a number of enclosed sites with ramparts built in dry stone, often located at the top of a hill. These hillforts, called oppida, have a surface of about 2 to 11 hectares. Their inner part consists of houses built with stone and mud-bricks and connected by narrow streets, giving to the urban fabric a very dense aspect. Such settlement pattern is considered very different from the one existing during the previous period. It is generally thought that this change is linked to the founding of Greek colonies in the neighboring areas, first in Marseilles (Massalia, 600 BC), then in Sant Martí d'Empuries (Emporion, c. 575 BC). As a reaction to the intensification in seaborne trade in the North Western Mediterranean, the native populations developed new types of social organization, characterized by a new, more productive economy, allowing for surpluses. The acquisition of these surpluses led to the development of an enclosed settlement.
