Feb­ru­ary 14, 2013, Prof. Yann MOULIER-BOUTANG, chair of eco­nom­ics at UTC Com­pieg­ne gave a lec­ture on “the cog­ni­tive cap­i­tal resource”, first in a pro­gramme called the French Schol­ars Lec­ture Series, cre­at­ed by the French Con­sul Gen­er­al in post at Van­cou­ver, the Peter Wall Insti­tute for Advanced Stud­ies (estab­lish­ment spe­cialised in inter­dis­ci­pli­nary devel­op­ment and exchanges among con­firmed research sci­en­tists) and the Uni­ver­si­ty of British Colum­bia, Canada. 

The aim is to encour­age and enhance exchanges between French and Cana­di­an research sci­en­tists. Six French lec­tur­ers were cho­sen for this first series, each stay­ing for a week on the UBC Campus. 

Apart from deliv­er­ing a pub­lic lec­ture, there were sem­i­nar com­mit­ments and infor­mal get-togeth­ers and this mul­ti­plies the lev­el of exchanges and con­tacts; the French Schol­ars Lec­ture Series will be pro­grammed between Feb­ru­ary and Novem­ber 2013.
