2012 is a year of consolidation for IFSTTAR, as witnessed by its determination to continue along its path and pursue its shared goals and vision.
The 2012 Activity Report presents the achievements and highlights of the year.
UTC is well-known for producing multi-facet, wide-ranging engineers. They can be top-notch technically or
skilful managers, or a mix of both – this is largely due to the cursus structure, with its 6 elective majors
and 24 optional specialties that opens the way to innumerable professional opportunities. That is why there
is no stereotype profile for a UTC graduate … This month’s ‘dossier’ looks at this rich diversity and invites
the students to tell us how they perceived their last placement, just before they are invited to their muchawaited
UTC graduation ceremony? The following short stories, in a sense, help the future graduates to project
themselves into a job context. We shall be able to follow their first steps. Twice a year, 1 000 industrial training
officers, UTC’s pedagogical tutors and the trainees meet for the poster session day devoted to the placements.
The students have 15 minutes each to valorise their experience!
Sustainable development principle applied to electrical cars and network- I applied, the sustainble development principle is not so clear with electrical cars network- Like oil sand- if a supply chain is sustainble, it has to be all along the supply and not only at the user level

fiche de lecture Le management : Voyage au centre des organisations Henry Mintzberg
les différents types structurels ont été notamment étudiés par Henry Mintzberg, qui en identifie cinq1 :
La structure simple, coordonnée directement par la hiérarchie, particulièrement adaptée aux organisation de petite taille (par exemple : une PME, un petit commerce).
La bureaucratie mécaniste, coordonnée par les procédures, particulièrement adaptée aux organisations de grande taille à l'activité standardisée (par exemple : une administration publique, une compagnie aérienne, une banque de dépôt).
La structure divisionalisée, coordonnée par les budgets, particulièrement adaptée aux organisations de grande taille à l'activité hétérogène, intervenant sur différentes lignes de produits ou services, auprès de différents types de clients et/ou sur différentes zones géographiques (par exemple : une entreprise multinationale, un groupe industriel diversifié).
La bureaucratie professionnelle, coordonnée par la qualification, particulièrement adaptée aux organisations qui doivent effectuer des tâches très complexes de manière routinière (par exemple : un hôpital, une université, un journal).
L'adhocratie, coordonnée par la collaboration, particulièrement adaptée aux structures par projet tournées vers l'innovation (par exemple : la Nasa, une société de production cinématographique).

Expert Group Meeting on Investment, Research, Development and Innovation the ICT Sector ( Tunisia, 7-8 May 2013)
Abstract
The presentation uses the concept of sectoral innovation system and argues for the importance of analyses conducted at sectoral level, because there are significant differences across economic sectors in the variables and mechanisms involved in catch-up.
Drawing on empirical evidences from research the presentation shows how innovation differs across sectors in terms of sources and patterns of technological change, appropriability conditions, knowledge base and accumulation of knowledge, and last but not least organizations and actors involved. A strong emphasis will be put on how the ICT sector differs from other sectors.
The second part of the presentation first discusses the common factors affecting catching up in six economic sectors – Telecommunications, software, automobile, pharmaceuticals, semi-conductors and agro-food- in several catching-up economies such a Brazil, India, China, Taiwan and Korea. It moves then into discussing the differences across sectors explains how the ICT sector (Telecom and Software) compares to the other sectors.

Rational for EMIS:
Innovation is a must : KBE, globalisation, MPCs?
Worrying situation in MPC’s: Euro-Mediterranean region as an area of
sustainable development and shared prosperity (Barcelona declation)
Why EU-MPCs cooperation on innovation?:
1. RDI are, by nature, widely internationalized activities
2. The existence of common problems and shared challenges
3. Big research and innovation programs require Critical mass &
Resources, not available in MPCs
Objective of EMIS: The mobilization of innovation stakeholders in common
framework and mutually beneficial partnership to develop a more intelligent
and competitive Euro-Med space
