2010 lift conference:
my 6 yr old’s teacher: he’s a very nice kid but he’s asking questions
we live in a flow of info
from info to knowledge… questioning…
collective intelligence – can we invent new ways of questioning collectively
reinvent socratic method in 21st cent.. every kid is a little socrates.. except we say this kid shouldn’t ask questions.. we are asking every kid to where same size of shoe..
5 min – those chess players that were a combination were better even if they weren’t better at chess
data to knowledge to wisdom to life..
hard for adults because we’ve grown up in old system.. so best way to move forward – interact with youth
where are you running to
as a researcher – you learn by exploring – how can we have everyone contributing
often innovation doesn’t happen because people see it as good and feel bad they haven’t done it before
most people are conservative – so if you are a creative – you need to build yourself a creative space.. to link to others..
spaces we are creating – wiser u – to promote emergence of these spaces

wise summit 2012:
Over the last eight years, François Taddei has created the CRI (Center for Research and Interdisciplinary) in Paris, which offers three programs integrated in the Liliane Bettencourt curriculum: a new undergrad program, a Master’s degree (Interdisciplinary Approaches to Life Sciences, AIV), and a doctoral school (Frontiers of Life, FdV). CRI‘s dedicated facilities host visiting professors, a wide choice of courses and several student discussion clubs. CRI’s main role is to promote new pedagogies to help creative students take initiatives and develop their research projects, with the help of mentors, research institutions, private companies, and foundations, such as the Bettencourt Foundation, which has supported many student-created activities. These activities range from the first French synthetic biology team (for the MIT-sponsored iGEM competition) to the Paris-Montagne science festival and the Science Académie, an outreach program that allows high schools students from deprived neighborhoods to discover the creativity of science.
François Taddei is about to take the lead of the future Institute for Learning Through Research that was selected in March 2012 by the International Scientific Committee of the National Innovative Training Program (IDEFI) of the French Ministry of Research.
François Taddei also heads the Evolutionary Systems Biology team at a unit of the French National Institute of Health & Medical Research (INSERM) in Paris-Descartes University’s Medical School. His work has produced many publications in general-interest scientific journals, and has been recognized by several awards. François Taddei participates in various working groups on the future of research and education (France 2025, OECD report, etc.).
