A place for scientific meetings and discussions

Alongside the sales area, the forum of "Le Comptoir" hosts numerous scientific encounters aimed at a wide audience.

Presentation of books, conferences, workshop, exhibitions, the forum offers visitors privileged appointments with the world of humanities and social sciences.

A place full of history

Designed from the start as a space for accessing knowledge, the first floor of the Foundation hosted one of the largest libraries in humanities and social sciences for over 50 years.

Following its transfer to the Humathèque Condorcet in 2020, the FMSH wished to preserve the original spirit of the place. It dhas developed a set of services, open to all, dedicated to the promotion and sharing of knowledge in humanities and social sciences.

Un lieu chargé d’histoire

Pensé dès la création de la FMSH comme un espace d’accès aux savoirs, le 1er étage du 54 boulevard Raspail a accueilli pendant plus de 50 ans une des plus grandes bibliothèques en sciences humaines et sociales. À la suite de son transfert en 2020 au sein de l'Humathèque Condorcet, la FMSH a souhaité conserver l’esprit original de ce lieu en y développant un ensemble de services, ouverts à tous, dédiés à la valorisation et au partage de la connaissance en sciences humaines et sociales
