Science - International Org/Dev/Coop
French term or phrase: Signes
It is not clear to me what the word "signes" means here. (It is the last word in the text):

Si les pôles ont leur spécialité et leur identité propres, tous oeuvrent pour l’excellence scientifique régionale et européenne au travers du rassemblement des ressources intellectuelles et physiques. (288 signes)

TIA for your help!

Yep, it's exactly that - characters including spaces. Seems weird that they just plonked that in the middle of a long article I am translating and didn't count the characters anywhere else, but that's the author's prerogative!

Thanks very much for your help!
