: Expositions – “Living
with reindeer” and “Images
and People: Biodiversity on Siberian
Terrain”
On
the occasion of the 40th anniversary
festivities of the technopole
Sophia Antipolis, and of the International
Arctic Year 2007-2009, the Cote
d’Azur delegation of CNRS
presents, in partnership with
the Foundation Sophia Antipolis,
their two new expositions.
Carried
out by Sylvie Beyries, researcher
at the CEPAM Sophia Antipolis,
the exposition “Living with
reindeer” deals with the
biological and cultural adaptations
linked with using reindeers in
Siberia. The exposition is organised
around 4 themes:
-
Environment and mobility
- Health and dietary behaviours
- Techniques
- Symbolic aspects
Faced
with such a hostile environment,
reindeer and man have linked their
existences, and pursue together
the only way of life possible,
that of migration / nomad existence.
Coordinated
by Morgane Gibert researcher at
the anthropobiology Laboratory
of Toulouse III, “Images
and People: Biodiversity on Siberian
Terrain” is a public interactive
exposition which presents many
aspects of the biological and
cultural diversity of Siberian
populations. It is an interactive
model which presents, in an attractive
way, the work of the researchers
on this icy tomb.

Create. innovate".
The
purpose of the European Year of
innovation and creativity is to
become aware that creativity and
innovation are major assets for
personal, economic and social
fulfilment. By emphasizing creativity
and innovation, the European Union
wants to configure the future
of Europe in a world open to competition
by stimulating the potential of
creativity and innovation for
each of us. The Union offers the
framework in which to increase
awareness in such stakes and facilitate
the debate on the actions capable
of increasing this potential in
Europe.
The European Year 2009 is a horizontal
and transverse initiative which
concerns numerous domains, not
only education and culture, but
also regional policy and the policies
of the company and its research.
The official inauguration will
take place in Prague on January
7th. The media launch of the Year
will come along with the inauguration
of the dedicated web site
