Seminars

  -    -  Seminars

Since 1981, the Fondation des Treilles has hosted high-level international research teams in all fields of science, literature and the arts as part of interdisciplinary seminars. The foundation’s seminars focus on original themes with a limited number of participants, thus encouraging exchanges and discussions. They last 6 days, welcoming 15 people from different disciplines, and including at least 2 young researchers. About half of the participants come from other European countries.

The foundation provides you with the best conditions to devote yourself entirely to the project for which you have been selected.
