BIP : The Institut Pasteur Newsletter, September 28, 2018

Pasteurdon is the Institut Pasteur's major annual fundraising campaign. Every year, short films and radio messages are broadcast to raise awareness among the public of the research carried out at the Institut Pasteur and to encourage people to give. This year's campaign, which will take place from October 10 to 14, 2018, once again reflects the unwavering commitment of Institut Pasteur staff, the buzz created by loyal media partners, the support of partner companies and foundations and the invaluable presence of our devoted Pasteurdon patron.

In March 2014, the Institut Pasteur introduced a Charter for the Prevention and Management of Conflicts of Interest, emphasizing just how much importance it places on this matter. The experience and lessons learned over the ensuing years led to a period of reflection that focused more closely on the specific nature of the Institut Pasteur and its organizational setup.

Institut Pasteur wishes to create a limited number of new research units (U5) on its Paris campus. The call for projects is open to permanent scientists from Institut Pasteur or other institutions  who have been working full time (or with a main affiliation at Institut Pasteur) on the campus  for at least 2 years, and whose PhD was obtained more than 8 years ago.

The Institut Pasteur cultural society, La Pasteurale, is gearing up for the start of the new academic year. Its activities will resume on Monday October 1, 2018. La Pasteurale runs a variety of cultural and artistic activities for all those working on campus (Institut Pasteur staff, OREX, interns, students, etc.), with no minimum service period.
