Getting around tomorrow 

Collège de France lectures at Clermont-Auvergne University
How to get around visually tomorrow

As part of its Avenir Commun Durable program, the Collège de France, in partnership with the Université Clermont-Auvergne and on its campus, is organizing a meeting with several professors on October 6 2023, as part of the university's official opening ceremony.

The theme chosen for this event is mobility, a major issue in the environmental transition. In France, transport currently accounts for more than 25 % of ourCO2 emissions. It therefore contributes significantly to global warming. Nevertheless, it would be unrealistic to do without our current means of transport, whether for work, vacations or simply for daily commuting. We urgently need to move away from a model based on oil and gasoline to one that relies on low-carbon energies and is far more respectful of the environment.

Collège de France professors Marc Fontecave and Jean-Marie Tarascon will each give a lecture on this occasion. Laurence Boisson de Chazournes, former holder of the Avenir Commun Durable chair, will be the guest of honor at the university's opening ceremony. Her talk will focus on " la régulation internationale des ressources en eau douce ".

This event takes place in partnership with France Université and the University of Clermont-Auvergne, as part of its Open University and official opening.
