Cyber espionage: In the virtual world, anyone can be James Bond!
  How do we define espionage in the digital age, and what role does it play in foreign policy-making? Is national security more important than the individual's right to privacy?

The Symbols of the French Republic
  We must never underestimate the importance of symbols. When something becomes iconic, it is imprinted in the imagination of people and has a power all of its own. In this sense, the symbols of the French Republic, specified in the article 2 of the French Constitution and inspired by the French Revolution, represent the values and the foundations of the nation whose fundamental principles are liberty and equality. In this session, participants will review and discuss these different symbols to understand why they are important.
