| This workshop is built around a simulation game. The participants,
organised in a project team, have to plan and conduct the project by incorporating available resources and means and
anticipating the difficulties involved in this operation. The simulation sequences and case studies composing this
workshop allow us to deal with planning on both the methodological and management levels. |
