Afternoon events, in hybrid format, are open to the public upon registration. The program included:
2 pm – 3.45 pm | ROUND TABLE (in French): “Innovative integration solutions for industrial companies”
- Hosted by Martine Assar

4.30 pm – 6 pm | CONFERENCE (in French) : “Our plural intelligences”
- Introduction by Cécile Dubarry, Executive President of IMT
- Joseph Schovanec: autistic philosopher and writer
“Intelligences have always been plural. While the arrival of so-called artificial intelligence has upset the certainty of those who mistakenly believed that there was only one type of intelligence, it is also in line with observations of human biodiversity, especially as embodied by situations of disability. Different modalities of intelligence, often invisible, are asserting themselves, weaving a new universe that’s both human and digital. If being disabled often involves being a walking human laboratory, it’s up to us to explore how this difference is also the crucible of tomorrow’s performance.”
