Vers un système énergétique plus durable?

Expérimenter, c'est apprendre et pouvoir innover.

A la fois temps de la réflexion et temps de l’action, l’expérimentation ose le nouveau, permet d’améliorer l’existant et ouvre des pistes.

S’impliquer en tant qu’enseignant et chercheur pour évaluer ces expériences vise à développer l’apprentissage par l’usage, confronter les théories à la réalité et approcher la complexité.

Cela restera l’activité préférée d’une vie professionnelle.

Leçon d'honneur du professeur Bernard Lachal
