Last evening I had the pleasure to attend the reception organised by the Mairie de Paris and the BACE (Bureau d'Accueil des Chercheurs Etrangers) that was held at the Hôtel de Ville.
This type of event has surelly the political intention to show the effort that the City of Paris is doing to attract good foreign researchers in all fields (this is a time when everybody, and all administrations specially, agree that the support for research in very much needed, but unfortunatelly, not all the agents involved are actually doing all they could do about it). At least in this case, they seem to be doing their bit, and at least, they are showing it in style.
Hence, I found nicelly rewarding to be invited to a reception in such a luxurious environtment as the Hôtel de Ville, with champaign and canapes, life background music and have the chance to meet other people in the same professional situation, from all over the world, and by chance, even from a neighbouring village to my own!!
I'll be looking forward coming events like this one... ;-)
