Speaker : Cédric Gaucherel, Head of the Department, Ecology, IFP

Creativity is a critical quality that should develop a researcher in his job. Yet, what does this mean? Do we really "create" something, or do we only "copy" the Nature (as suggested by some philosopher)? I would like us to discuss this point with our scientific feeling. It probably supposes to redefine this concept, then to explore it in our daily labor. Further on, we could address in this discussion several corollaries such as whether creativity is dependent on the age of the researcher or whether the scientific culture it belongs to? Thanks you for coming with your ideas...
