Yes, it was time in 2018 to get down to business.
Launch of the CIRC: Centre international de recherches sur la Castagniccia.
(or “Centre interdisciplinaire”…)
Translated from French into English, it should be the ICRC: International Centre for Research on Castagniccia (or “Interdisciplinary Centre for…”), but will miss the humorous wink as CIRC is pronounced in French as “cirque” (circus).
…
Located in the hamlet of Nucariu (municipality of Nocario, 20229… waiting for an other headquarter ? :-). It can be seen in the first photograph.
The idea is quite seriously, with no funding and with the means at hand (thus taking its time), to create a hub of encounters with colleagues and students, with this territory as a pretext: a collaborative lab. where “us” prevails, a CIRC-US?
In fact, this CIRC already hosts the project Castagniccia (Corsica), elaborated with François Ireton.
