Maison Suger

Since 1990, Maison Suger welcomes foreign researchers from all disciplines of the humanities and social sciences invited by French research institutions.

Maison Suger welcomes also researchers who benefit from mobility and cooperation programmes managed by the Foundation, and who collaborate with research institutions in the Paris region.

Located in the Latin Quarter, the historic center of Paris, Maison Suger offers to researchers staying in Paris for a few months a working and living environment to accommodate their needs.

Since its creation, Maison Suger has been conceived as a place of sociability, fostering encounters, collaborative work, and the emergence and incubation of research projects.

Every year, some 200 researchers whose work draws the various disciplines of the humanities and social sciences cross paths in this place. Maison Suger the space offers the opportunity to confront interdisciplinary issues and intends to foster collaborations.

Maison Suger hosts scientific meetings (workshops, regular seminars, conferences, and summer schools) organized by the FMSH, partner institutions or on the initiative of residents as part of their activities in Paris.

Maison Suger offers 33 flats (from studios to two-room flats) with both living and office space, designed for living and working in a pleasant and functional environment. Some of the flats can accommodate a spouse or partner, and exceptionally a child over 12 years of age.
