  The meeting place for experience creators: when real estate, tourism and hotel expertise come together to meet the needs of 21st century travellers.
• Communication in today’s world
  Communicating across cultures for the young office manager is more a question of human qualities and cultural awareness than technical knowledge, balancing soft skills and technical skills for improved and efficient communication. 
• Biomedical challenges of our century
  Unravelling DNA mysteries: the environment in a test tube: from agro-business to virology, genetics or even cosmetics, it's all happening in our labs.
