They published the book Typicity which deals with the enhancement of the identity of territories as a tool for development and economic growth.
On a personal level, Marie-Gabrielle Plasseraud enjoys discovering new territories, both in France and abroad. She has lived for several years in New York City and in Mexico City where she has always enjoyed meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. She is very interested in educational innovation and personal development topics.
