You liked this atypical and intimate format! It will be repeated at Biomim'expo 5 in 2020.
In a small lounge set up "as if at home", informal and intimate discussions with researchers, lab directors, company managers, teachers, designers, architects ... to exchange and discover jobs and functions. Every 30′, a man or a woman faces you.
At the end of a family lunch, a niece or a cousin in the first year of secondary school who is wondering about his future takes you aside, he knows more or less where you work but doesn't really have a precise idea, and as he was told on the way here "but yes, take advantage of it to ask him, he'll be there", he takes the plunge. You are both sitting down, and not really knowing where to start, he asks you "but by the way, what is your job?" ... the rest is up to you ....
