Tomorrow I have to go to Lyon, France. I was asked to be part of the scientific committee of the "Pêle de compétitivité: Loisirs Numériques" (i.e. Cluster of Digital Entertainment Companies). Video game companies and research lab worked in the past month on common project about Research and Development issues that they could work on together. The idea is that one project is proposed by at least 2 companies (developpers or editors) and one research lab. Project have to be submitted to get some funding (States + Regions) for Feb 15th and tomorrow is more giving some ideas, thoughts, comments, critiques so that projects would be better suited for this deadline. The final choice is of course up to the state + regions joined into a kind of "state innovation agency".

I am looking forward to see (and comment) those projects!
