Global networks
Connecting researchers and knowledge to understand the complexity of the world
Asserting the importance of diversity of viewpoints and methodologies, the foundation promotes international dialogue and construction of knowledge across disciplinary, cultural, and national boundaries. It supports original perspectives, multiplies viewpoints and encourages the confrontation of ideas to explore the challenges facing our societies.
Our work
- Promote collaborations between researchers and institutions around the world: by supporting international research networks that address societal challenges.
- Encourage scientific openness: by deploying incoming and outgoing mobility programmes for post-doctoral students and senior researchers of all nationalities.
- Edit and translate reference texts from different geographical areas: by developing a series of book collections aimed at decompartmentalizing knowledge and making international voices heard in the Francophone field.
