A public conference on 13 March 2019

The association “Les Amis de l’IHES” will organise a conference on 13 March at 6pm, in the Marilyn and James Simons Conference Centre.

Nuccio ORDINE (Chaire Alphonse Dupront Paris-Sorbonne — Université de Calabre) will give a talk entitled:

Praise the slowness:
Speed and utilitarianism, enemies of teaching and research

Fast and utilitarianism are now two words that dominate our society: in schools, universities, scientific research and even in our human relations, we must respect the imperatives of speed and profit. The classics, on the other hand, teach us that slowness and free is necessary in the fields of education, scientific research and human relations.

There will be no musical interlude after this conference.

Please note that the talk will be in French.
