This work is conducted based on an intercultural approach in collaboration with Mod'Spé Paris' international partners.

The various results of this research will be communicated in the framework of business and academic partnerships through participation in national and international conferences, the publication of articles in reviews (peer-reviewed), other publications, an annual colloquium organized by the School, as well as the publication of biannual electronic reviews starting in 2013.
