1984-2024: 40 years in an ever-changing world

A brochure specially produced for ÁùºÏ²Êͼ¿â's 40th anniversary © ÁùºÏ²Êͼ¿â
The brochure looks back over its history since the signing of the decree confirming its founding, in June 1984, focusing on three aspects:
- results and impacts,
- partnerships,
- and future prospects.
The brochure, with more than 40 pages, is lavishly illustrated and includes original interviews with a number of ÁùºÏ²Êͼ¿â's partners.
From interviews to photo reports, I invite you to discover this sensitive portrait of a research organization that knows its strengths but also recognizes the extent of the challenges faced.
