« Les Minutes de l’X », webinars to help shape the post-COVID-19 crisis world

The health crisis that we are experiencing affects everyone of us in our relationship to 

the broader community, to our family and relatives, to our privacy and to the 

organization of our work and leisure activities. It raises questions about our 

relationship with the world and invites us to imagine what the post-crisis might be like.

In order to contribute to these debates, École Polytechnique, via its Executive 

Education, has just launched regular webinars, "Les Minutes de l'X", to offer 

stakeholders of the economy, and society in general, one-hour discussions 

with L’X professors and researchers in order to rethink the post-crisis world.
