The ICESCO-Euromed Chair "Arts, Societies and Civilizations" organized this Thursday, January 25, 2024, in collaboration with the Center for the Study of Techniques, Knowledge and Practices (CETCOPRA) of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University, an international symposium on the theme "Technique and Environment".

This meeting was marked by the participation of several Moroccan and international personalities, including Dr. Mohamed ZINELABIDINE, Director of the Culture and Communication Sector of the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO), as well as a panel of teacher-researchers representing the CETCOPRA of Paris 1 University, notably Prof. Caroline MORICOT, Prof. Aurore KOECHLIN, Prof. Laurence RAINEAU, Prof. Marco SARACENO and Prof. Valérie SOUFFRON.

A scientific debate that falls within the framework of the cultural activities of the "Arts, Societies and Civilizations" Chair and which was an opportunity to explore multidimensional approaches aimed at better responding to crises and emergencies by focusing on social and humanitarian aspects, and to discuss the interactions between technological advances and current social, technical, ethical and environmental challenges.

This international symposium took place in two sessions of exchange and sharing of insightful reflections: the first session addressed the relationship to technique in emergency situations, followed by a second session on techniques and societal issues.

The event was also a genuine opportunity for debates enlightened by the speakers' presentations and for constructive exchanges between the teacher-researchers and the students of the Euromed University of Fes who attended this symposium.
