Beginning of the 2021 academic year: PSL Anthropocene
Faced with the shifts to come, it seems essential that each student be able to grasp, with both nuance and rigor, the major dynamics brought to light by the scientific community. As future citizens, students will have to take part in our collective adaptation to these new climate realities. For the beginning of the 2021 academic year, Université PSL suggests, with the support of our students, to highlight the theme of the Anthropocene through a series of conferences and various events available to all.
