Enabling meetings and dialogue between committed specialists: L’instant Recherche

To pursue its mission of creating debate between researchers, representatives of civil society and institutional stakeholders in times of health crisis, in 2020 the Foundation created a new videoconference event, “L’Instant recherche”. Today, it is essential to enable meetings and dialogue between committed specialists, to encourage open, free and demanding exchange, where the diversity of knowledge, practices and principles enables the emergence of innovative models.

Capitalizing on our research projects: The Foundation’s Annual Meetings

Each class of researchers supported by the Foundation’s grants is invited to the “Rencontres de la Fondation”, a day of debriefing and exchange on the themes that have driven the Foundation’s work that year.

Renowned international experts are also invited to provide a critical perspective on the research, enriching the debate with their vision and opening up new horizons for the Foundation’s thinking. The first two editions were co-organized with Le Monde Diplomatique. The 2018 edition was organized in collaboration with the French delegation to UNESCO, and took place at UNESCO headquarters.
