Dear NCP members,
The main reason of this newsletter is to inform you on the coming venue of the annual conference ’Intellectual Capital for Nations, Regions and Cities’- in short: IC 8, which, like every year, will take place in the premises of the World Bank Institute in Paris, 66 Avenue d’Iéna, 16th Arrondissement (16th Paris District, postal code 75116 PARIS).
The date of this conference is May 31st to June 1st. A draft program of the IC8 is attached and can be found via URL https://www.dropbox.com/s/s5gwflrwehhycay/IC8-2012-Agenda.pdf
As every year, the conference will be preceded by the PhD seminar organised and chaired by Ahmed Bounfour, Université Paris Sud, as well as the General Assembly of The New Club of Paris on the day before, i.e. May 30th .
The Board of NCP has decided to spend a workshop session starting at 17:00 (5 p.m.) , before the formal General Assembly starting at 19:00 (7 p.m.). Before this workshop, the PhD Seminar, organized by Ahmed Bounfour will take place throughout the whole day, as planned by today in Paris city, in order to manage short sequences and short distances between the events.
As for today, the arrangements are that the workshop and the General Assembly of the NCP will take place on May 30th, at Musee Rodin, 79 rue de Varenne ’ see www.musee-rodin.fr/ — Metro station Varenne).
For your travel logistics, you may take your decisions based on which event you will participate in for May 30th. Nonetheless, you should manage to be latest with the General Assembly (GA) at 19:00 (7p.m.).
