C'est un sujet qui est effectivement très peu discuté au niveau des groupes
étudiants.  Mais selon moi, c'est surtout pour cause de non connaissance du
domaine et des implications sociaux et économiques.

Il existe quelques associations départementale ou facultaire qui sont
sensibilisé il me semble, mais c'est encore loin d'avoir remonter vers le haut.
Il y aurait un travail d'information et de sensibilisation à faire à ce niveau.
