1THE SHOW MUST GO ON
On 17 May, the residents of the AgroParisTech campus located avenue du Maine in Paris, the
ABIES team included, will definitively take off from the place; landing is scheduled two days
later in the new campus located in Palaiseau. Geographically, this is a small-scale move, some
30 km to the south-west. But, as someone once said, “One small step for man, one giant leap
for mankind”. For different reasons, several members of the AgroParisTech community have
declined the invitation to move to Palaiseau and left the institute to new horizons. Luckily
enough, most of the ABIES team in Paris will be part of the Palaiseau adventure, so that the
doctoral school will not be negatively impacted. Never change a winning team!
Those who attended the ABIES Ph.D. Days a few weeks ago are probably the last of the
Mohicans to have enjoyed amphithéâtre No. 7 and the building’s emblematic Art Deco
architecture and design. Several of you have attended some of the mandatory 160 h of
formation in this building; some of you have even bravely defended their thesis, or have
attended other’s defenses, in this amphithéâtre. Within a few days, all these parts of our lives
will be archived in our memories. Keep record of the pleasant events, drop the other ones!
The show must go on, with a new organization in a brand new place. We’ll see together what
happens, hopefully something between stairway to heaven and highway to hell (the critical
issue of access to the new campus is still a matter of speculation). With some adaptation, this
will be a place where the doctoral candidates of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change.
