Cycling at the Institut Pasteur: a medal and an event coming up in September!

The Institut Pasteur is proud to announce that it has won the bronze medal in the "Objectif Employeur Pro Vélo" (Becoming a Pro-Cycling Employer – OEPV) program! This medal, awarded by the OEPV (a program supported by ADEME and the FUB), ecognizes and encourages practical measures taken to promote cycling to and from work.

It comes with a European certification that the Institut Pasteur is a Cycle Friendly Employer. This is a great reward for all those involved in this area and an incentive to go further!

And things are already set to get off to an exciting start in September, with the "Bike to the Future" sustainable mobility initiative taking place from September 15 to 28, 2025.

This year, the Institut Pasteur will be taking part in the French "Bike to the Future" challenge organized by Geovelo and Team for the Planet. The aim is simple: to pedal as much as possible, together, to promote non-motorized transport and change attitudes!

Every kilometer cycled will be added to a national tally and will also help unlock stages on the way to a greener, more breathable, more sustainable city. This is a great team challenge, open to everyone: join Team Pasteur on September 15!

Saving your rides with the Geovelo app and clocking up the kilometers is easy!
