Throughout the year 2023, follow the Foundation’s “special 10 years” EVENTS and PUBLICATIONS
The Foundation launches its PODCAST and gives researchers a voice
On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, the Foundation presents its brand new podcast “En-Quête d’Humanité”!
This is an opportunity to invite researchers to share their findings on the causes, prevention and reduction of human suffering through a contextualised and refined reflection on the needs of populations.
Sciences and humanities, let’s advance the reflection!
