The association “Aux Niรงois qui bien y pensent,” created by Damien Ganansia, a student of Espeme, organized a conference with Axel Kahn at EDHEC. This meeting brought together students, professors, leaders, Rotarians, local authority officials, and residents of the city of Nice.
The geneticist spoke on the topics “genetics and the future” and “liberalism and the common good.”
Axel Kahn is a French scientist, geneticist, and essayist. Research director at INSERM and former director of the Cochin Institute, he also served as the president of Paris Descartes University (2007-2011).
This event was part of the association’s objectives to promote culture in Nice through conferences open to the public.
This association succeeds in bringing the greatest French personalities to Nice. A program of conferences for the 2013/2014 academic year is already shaping up to be complete with guests as passionate as they are exceptional.
Deeply committed to the culture and values of the Nice region it defends, “Aux Niรงois qui bien y pensent” donates all generated profits to the association Les Petits Frรจres des Pauvres, which supports people over 50 who are suffering from loneliness, poverty, exclusion, and serious illnesses. With the aging population and related health issues, the number of these people in difficulty continues to rise.
