Conflict in the Middle East: We must not remain silent
Why we must take a stand
We, as employees of the European civil service, are concerned about the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the atrocities that have been taking place there since October 7, 2023. These events cannot leave us indifferent.
Indeed, our profession, our mission, is the construction of Europe. A project, values that embody the overcoming of hatred among the peoples of the European continent, marked by numerous wars, acts of pure barbarism, and a genocide that remains vivid in our collective memory.
It is essential to find a political solution that can outline a future for the Palestinian people, without which there can be no future, security, or peace for the Israeli people.
It is our responsibility to promote this demand for humanity and hope.

From an early age, we are surrounded by rules. In everyday life, as well as in our relationships with our children, there are many situations in which we need to consider our own boundaries and those of our children. ‘Should we set limits?’ Should I regulate everything? Isn’t this going too far?” Don’t children need a lot of freedom?” What are the possible consequences?” And if all this doesn’t work, what can I do?”
Speaker: Patrice MOES-GRETSCH, Graduate educator, systemic family therapist, systemic parental coach
AI, intelligence without thought?
Conference in FR
Friday 27 June, 12:45
In this talk, we will explore the strengths and limitations of generative artificial intelligence. We will look at how they work, to better understand how their logic differs fundamentally from that of humans. This discussion will also be an opportunity to look to the future to better anticipate the upheavals that the integration of AI could cause in our societies.
With Hubert Krivine, emeritus lecturer at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, where he taught statistical physics.
