2017 research and innovation week: EPITA, in tune with the experts
From Monday September 11 through Friday September 15, 2017, the new edition of the research and innovation week at EPITA brought many renowned professionals to the school’s Paris Kremlin-Bicêtre Campus. It was an opportunity for future engineers (and the general public as well) to learn about a wide variety of subjects thanks to numerous conferences and fascinating round table discussions examining the notion of innovation from diverse angles such as pure technology, management, human resources and even marketing. Here is the photo retrospective of the first major event of the 2017-2018 school year.
