As a result of the concern of researchers, teachers, and trainers from
Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Haiti
to contribute to the use of Creole in science, a virtual conference (web conference) is being organised on
Friday, October 24, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
on the subject of natural risks in the Caribbean and
Climate Change.

With the participation and sponsorship of:
- Thierry Césaire, Lecturer at the University of the Antilles, member of the GTSI
- Emmanuel Gombauld, known as “Manno,” a journalist specializing in Creole
He will be in charge of introducing us to quantum physics and related sciences and technologies. They will also discuss with us the difficulty of translating science into Creole.
We invite you to this webinar on Friday, October 24, 2025, between 9:00 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. (Saint Lucia, Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Haiti time),
