Summary :
"Good words are worth much, and cost little."
Press
As our project was built on a regional problem, a lot of different local newspapers were interested into it.
After the first articles, other newspapers have begun to be interested into our work. It helped us to have a better visibility.
We have listed all the articles :
- 20Minutes |

The Television was also interested in our project : the regional channel France 3 Midi-Pyrénées came to our lab for an interview. |

To finish, the national radio France Inter interviewed us in our lab. The interview will be on air when we are in Boston (Dec. 2nd!!! |
