14th international conference BRIT: The border, a source of innovation.
4-7 November 2014 in Arras, Lille and Mons - MOT is organising 4 sessions.The BRIT* 14th international conference will be held from 4 to 7 November 2014 on the France-Belgium border (Arras, Lille and Mons) on the topic “The border, a source of innovation”.
A federative theme: "Far from being fixed geographical features, borders are characterized by a dynamic play whose actors include the changes affecting the world while actively contributing to its transformation. While the 1990s were steeped in the ideology of a 'world without borders', the events of 11 September, among others, marked the beginning of an era characterised by the redirection of attention to the issues of security and territorial control. This 'resumption of borders' raises questions that we have to consider, especially in 2014, the centenary commemoration of the start of World War I."
Active participation of the MOT with the organisation of 4 sessions:
Employment, education and training in cross-border contexts (session 74)
Cross-border territories and innovation (session 73)
