Bâtiment Maison Neuve à l'Iméra

Thursday, September 2025 at 2.30pm

Since 2021, it has been possible to take research-leave at Iméra, the Institute for Advanced Study of Aix Marseille Université. This six-month leave is part of the national annual Research or Thematic Conversion Leave (CRCT) campaign.

In anticipation of the launch of the 2026-27 CRCT campaign (Monday, September 22nd, 2025), the Iméra team is welcoming interested parties on the afternoon of Thursday, September 25th, between 2.30pm and 5.30pm. This opportunity to meet and talk will give you the chance to find out more about the site, its missions and the research-leave scheme.

Research-leave at Iméra is recognised for the bonds forged with a community of international researchers, who stand out for their benevolence, their ability to listen and their remarkable willingness to exchange ideas in an original location in the local research landscape, an incubator for the movement of ideas that takes place there.

Enrico Donaggio, Scientific Director, and Emmanuel Girard-Reydet, General Secretary, will be presenting the Institute for Advanced Study, giving tours of the site and answering any questions. The meeting is planned in the hall of the Maison Neuve at 2.30pm.
