Jeudi 24 mars 2022, un public animé a participé à la résidence de l’Ambassadeur de Suisse et en ligne à notre événement du Mois de la francophonie pour découvrir comment les Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD) peuvent être atteints grâce à l'innovation. Cette édition spéciale de Café des Sciences, entièrement en français, a été organisée par l’ambassade de Suisse en Chine avec le soutien de Swissnex.
From day one, I felt like a part of the team. And now, six months later, with new knowledge under my belt, new projects on the horizon, and a heart full of friendship and congeniality that I’ve found among my dearest colleagues at Swissnex, I set off again into the world and hoping that our path will cross again soon.
Swissnex's well-designed public events unveiled an innovative new world to me, which incrementally developed my interest in knowing the frontier research, deep-tech, and related applications. Working at Swissnex is far beyond a dream come true, but also a holy light illuminating the gloomy days during this unstable pandemic period, meanwhile showing me the diverse paths that can be paved and extended from the core of Science to reach a common good and a reciprocal friendship at a national level.
