The former headquarter of the CRP Henri Tudor stands forlorn on Kirchberg. From what I heard, it will be taken over by the university, and at some point in the future torn down and replaced by another building. The way the headquarter on Kirchberg was abandoned illustrates quite neatly the dryness of the center's managerial decisions. Emphasis is placed on “moving forward by moving stuff around”, while humans are too often reduced to that very stuff that is being displaced at will. Having regrouped all the staff on one site may not be such a bad idea, but this is by far not sufficient to create a sense of “esprit de corps”. Leaving the CRP's headquarter could have been one small step in that direction, and it was missed. Wouldn't it have been nice to take the opportunity of leaving a building that saw the birth of Luxembourgish science
