The Institute has given to the word ‘hospitality’ its highest and best signification.
I have enjoyed its scientific and intellectual hospitality: all kinds of disciplines, objects, approaches have been present..
The Institute has given to the word ‘hospitality’ its highest and best signification.
I have enjoyed its scientific and intellectual hospitality: all kinds of disciplines, objects, approaches have been presented, discussed, and confirmed in a spirit of generosity and mutual enhancement.
I have enjoyed its human hospitality, feeling free to exchange with my ‘sisters and brothers’ in this adventure about academic issues, but also to share with them some glasses of wine, or worries and expectations.
This hospitality is due to each and everyone at the Institute. I am deeply grateful for having been invited to this space of intellectual freedom and friendship.
