FINAL CONCLUSIONS •  Research and Teaching are inherently linked. Do not try to separate them

•  5 Research people require 3 Support Research Staff. Research create job !!

•  CollaboraCve tasks cannot be improvised. It requires a specific project, investment… and Time!

•  At the end… it will produce an economic turnover The benefit of research is the progress which is achieved through architecture, engineering and

technology, and which is a driving force of advanced, more sustainable and more commiged socieWes.
