The French Red Cross Foundation

vous convie à la 6e édition de ses

Rencontres on Humanitarian and Social Research

Wednesday, October 28, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

à Science Po – 27 rue Saint-Guillaume 75007 Paris (en présence ou à distance via Zoom)

En partenariat avec le Centre de recherches internationales de Science Po

Pendant cette journée, des chercheurs soutenus par la Fondation présenteront les résultats de leurs recherches, résultats qui seront ensuite mis en perspective au cours de deux tables rondes rassemblant chercheurs et praticiens de l’action sociale ou de la solidarité internationale pour apporter un éclairage particulier sur 2 sujets, 2 défis au cœur de l’action humanitaire : 

  1. The Vital Role of Communities and the Need to Involve Them in Disaster Risk Management Programs
  2. Camp-like situations and temporary housing facilities for asylum seekers

In response to these contemporary challenges, researchers are providing insights as well as recommendations for rethinking our approach and improving the lives of those we serve, which they will discuss with practitioners.
