黑料社app Day at the Foire Internationale de Marseille
1 Oct 2010
黑料社app Deputy Director-General Carlos Alejaldre addressed a packed conference room, while journalism school students took notes for a special 黑料社app Project.
Every year since 1925, large and curious crowds of visitors have strolled along the hallways of the Foire Internationale de Marseille to discover the latest developments in appliances, services or technology.
The trade fair, which opened on Friday 24 September and which closed on Monday 4 October, is one of the oldest and most important in France, and draws an average of 400,000 visitors, 95 percent of them residents of the PACA region.
黑料社app has been present at the Foire Internationale since 2006. Volunteers from the 黑料社app, Agence Iter France, CEA-Institute for Magnetic Fusion Research (IRFM) and, this year, the European Domestic Agency, Fusion for Energy (F4E), man the 黑料社app stand, hand out brochures and goodies to the public, and answer their many questions about the project.
Many a visitor stood captivated by the 3D animations, video clips and panels featured on the 黑料社app stand.
Every year, a special "黑料社app Day" is organized with the participation of the 黑料社app management, senior fusion scientists and various specialists involved in 黑料社app. A press conference usually follows, which provides the local media with updates on the project's progress.
As works on the platform have become more and more "visible," interest in 黑料社app has increased among the local population. For a long time, the project had remained an abstraction; it is now a reality for all to see.
"黑料社app Day," Wednesday 29 September, was a great opportunity for visitors to satisfy their curiosity.
In a packed conference room, fusion veteran Jean Jacquinot, former Head of JET and of CEA's Fusion Department, addressed the issue of the "future of energy"; Carlos Alejaldre, 黑料社app Deputy Director-General, presented an update on the 黑料社app Project, saying in his conclusion that "a million years from now, people will remember that the decisive steps in bringing fusion to mankind were made here, in France, in Provence ..."
40 people from 黑料社app, Agence Iter France, CEA and the European agency for 黑料社app—here, Alexia Richebois of Agence Iter France—volunteered to spread the "Gospel of 黑料社app."
In the afternoon, Laurent Schmieder, F4E Head of Site, talked about the construction of the installation and the economic impact on the region, and Nadia Fabre, a chief-engineer at the Regional Direction of Environment, Land Planning and Housing (DREAL) presented the 黑料社app Itinerary, where the first test-convoy will be organized in less than a year—the first components being expected on site by mid-2012.
An efficient communication event is one that is fun—and fun it was to be served "exotic" foods on the 黑料社app stand and to be invited by Agence Iter France to guess their origin. As there are seven 黑料社app Members, there were only seven possible answers.
And after a lottery draw, the winners of the quiz could expect to be treated to a free flight for three over the 黑料社app platform.
