We would like to thank the Fondation Bettencourt Schueller, our founding patron, for its generosity, trust and the vital support it has provided us with since our establishment in 2006 and up until 2024.
“Our foundation has provided financial support and day-to-day guidance. But for his part, François Taddei has given our foundation a new dimension, encouraging us to think more deeply, to think outside the box, to take risks, to forge ahead with researcher training, and to strive for a greater impact. We have grown together for the better.” – Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, President of the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation (Excerpt from the speech given at the inauguration of our campus, October 2018).
“We have witnessed an extraordinary story of philanthropy, one that, it should be noted, has spanned more than 20 years. And it is a story of incredible fruitfulness” – Olivier Brault, Chief Executive of the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation
