Prof. Jacques ROTURIER, retired from University of Bordeaux (France), is nowadays an independent scientist yet involved in energy issues. From early 1960’s and during about 20 years, he used to be a nuclear physicist. Very deeply concerned with the impact of 1970’s oil shocks, he moved to energy efficiency sciences in early 1980’s to build and implement European Energy–Efficient Office Technologies and Ecocampus (conscious environmental management of university campuses) R-D programmes. At the moment, he continues to be concerned with Sustainable Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technologies, a very promising and exciting part of the SETIT.
