In his speech, the Sovereign Prince emphasized: “I am convinced that a good celebration of the work of Prince Albert I can only be the image of this one: varied in the form as in the background. It will have to address different audiences: both the academic world, the curious of the history of science, international relations, pacifist militancy, and all those who are interested in the Principality with a title or another. 

“Not to mention the students and students of our schools, and of course, I expect it to use the most modern production and distribution techniques, without abandoning the traditional media when they appear better adapted.”
