Working with an outstanding team of experts who are dedicated to developing and executing strategies related to the allocation and utilization of spectrum for space-based communication and other activities.

Toulouse, Occitanie, France

Communication strategy during the merger of the radio frequency and optical systems teams. 150+ people. Identification of the core common message. Elaboration of a mission statement for the new team: Imagine and develop links and instruments of the future. The challenge is to simplify the technical expertise and priorities when communicating with the various contacts (strategy directorate, financial directorate, startups and other CNES departments).- Creation of templates, graphic style and communication supports to bring together the different teams. Creation of content, web sites, posters and presentations for different audiences. Weekly newsletter to summarize and share work and news. Synthesis of key events for the Executive Committee.- information extraction with Python, graphic creation and video editing.

Toulouse, France

Strategy for opening up laboratories to startups, SMEs and partners to allow them to benefit from CNES technical expertise. Legal and contractual arrangements. Development of an optimal building layout centred around radiofrequency laboratories - Facilitation of multiple workshops using a combination of methods to develop synergies between people and teams, to structure and optimize meetings, to set up criteria for shared choices or to develop innovations to meet a challenge. Methods include: creativity, SIPOC (Supplier-Input-Process-Output-Customer), collective intelligence.Conducting face-to-face and remote workshops (multi-location).- Communication to highlight the technical work of experts to contacts who do not necessarily have the same level of expertise. Construction of a communication strategy to extract and synthesize the core of the message. Example: investment strategy for laboratories.Setting up and publishing a weekly internal newsletter. The challenge is to maintain technical accuracy in a few lines, associated with a photo, to tease readers to investigate further. - Creation of posters, booklets and presentations in English and French for different audiences.
