Institute
of Ecotechnics was founded in 1973 to develop and practice the discipline
of ecotechnics:
the ecology of technics, and the technics of ecology.
Since 1974, the Institute has organised annual international conferences
to bring together creative thinkers on topics of basic and cutting-edge
interest to scientists, artists, and project initiators. Our new conference
series focuses on exploration. This year’s conference will be a
multi-disciplinary meeting looking at the Mediterranean region from the
geologic, biomic, cultural and technospheric perspectives, giving an overview
of its rich history, diversity and future potentials.
The conference begins Friday evening, October 7th, at 6:00 p.m. and concludes Monday, October 10th, at noon. These conferences are always unique and creative events. There are lively conversations, warm hospitality, and ample opportunity for strolls on the beautiful grounds of Les Marronniers. Delicious Provençal cuisine is prepared each day using fresh produce grown on Domaine Les Marronniers’ organic farm. A special treat this year is our research ship, the Heraclitus, which will be docked at the port in Marseille. The Heraclitus has sailed over 250,000 nautical miles, and is currently on a multi-year expedition exploring and documenting lives and legends of the changing port cultures of the Mediterranean. The weekend will include an excursion to Marseille to visit the ship and meet the crew.
