In 2023, the Foundation is celebrating ten years of research at the heart of vulnerabilities in France and abroad. To mark the occasion, it is organizing an international conference in Paris on Thursday October 26, in partnership with the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD) and Sciences Po’s School of International Affairs.
This conference will be the culmination of a series of events and publications throughout 2023, with the aim of taking stock of ten years of research and looking to the future. 5 thematic roundtables will examine the concept of humanitarian transition in the light of recent major crises. The publication “L’Essentiel, 10 ans de recherche au cœur des vulnérabilités” (The Essential: 10 years of research at the heart of vulnerabilities), bringing together elements of capitalisation and avenues for better understanding and action, will be officially launched on the same day.
The conference will be translated into English.
