International Conference “Humanitarian Transition: current status of a concept being challenged by crises”
In 2023, the Foundation brought ten years of research in the heart of vulnerabilities in France and internationally up for discussion. To mark the occasion, we organized an international conference in Paris on Thursday, October 26, in partnership with IRD and Sciences Po’s School of International Affairs.
This conference was the culmination of a series of events and publications conducted throughout 2023, with the aim of taking stock of ten years of research and looking ahead to the future. It examined the concept of humanitarian transition in light of recent major crises during five thematic round tables. The publication “The Scientific Essentials: 10 Years of Research at the Heart of Vulnerabilities“, which brings together key findings and avenues for better understanding and action, was officially launched on that day.
