The Foundation celebrates 60 years
Declared public utility, the Foundation Maison des sciences de l'homme is the first French foundation dedicated to humanities and social sciences.
For more than 60 years, the Foundation has remained faithful to its original mission: promote the free circulation of knowledge, nurture interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue, and develop the necessary tools to access and disseminate knowledge.
Through the programs and services it develops for the benefit of the scientific community, the FMSH works to advance knowledge in humanities and social sciences to better understand the complexity of the world and explore the common challenges facing our societies.
Throughout the year, a series of events and meetings will highlight 60 years of action in favor of research in humanities and social sciences.
