From May 23 to 26 I was in Melbourne to attend the Australian Davos Connection's 2010 Future Summit. This summit is like nothing we have in France, unfortunately. Imagine hundreds of people addressing key issues to a country's Future through keynote lectures, concurrent sessions and nightcap discussions. Lots of interactions and open mindedness. I had a fantastic time.
Chairman Michael Roux invited me to give a keynote speech about the work we are doing on neuroscience and public policy. I will talk more a bout that in a different post.
I wanted to congratulate all the people who organized this event with special kudos and thanks to Michael, Phil, Gareth, Tania, Mina, Alicia, Mei Ling, Anton, Stephen, Hugh and Leith who made my (too short) trip to Melbourne such a great time.
