What Odile likes to study
There are “serious” topics I study for my professional purpose, such as Corporate Social Responsibility, interdisciplinarity and global health.
And then there are less serious topics I enjoy learning about in my free time. These include fashion, food, moviemaking and a bunch of other unrelated topics.

The following are some interesting items you might want to check out:
- I would recommend having a look on my website if you’re interested in corporate social responsibility: www.noisette.blue. I have a bunch of content planned, including interviews with interesting actors of change! Stay tuned!
- If you’re interested in innovation for sustainability, I’d also highly recommend the solar impulse foundation website: https://solarimpulse.com/news/1000-solutions-that-protect-the-environment-in-a-profitable-way-the-countdown-has-begun. The Founder, Bertrand Picard, is someone I really look up to for his inspiring ideas.
