The ROBERVAL Prize, created in 1986 by the University of Technology of Compiègne, pursues a double objective:
a) Put technology news within the reach of the general French-speaking public, by enabling everyone to understand contemporary developments, and by contributing to reflection on these questions which are essential to the future of our societies.
b) Promote the use of the French language in the production and dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge, in particular by promoting higher education in technology in French, so that our language continues to enrich the vocabulary necessary for the expression of the new concepts that condition our technological, economic and cultural development.
The role of an expert is to give a technical and "literary" opinion (the bases) on a scientific work. I was in the "Higher education books" category.
This morning I have just given my opinions on the 2 works (last deadline 30/09 ) whose task I was to examine:

I don't think I can make these 2 "expertises" public yet, but I will do so in due course.
Econologie.com should therefore soon appear in the list of "Experts": one more step in the evolution of the site towards the path of scientific recognition and credibility!
