Welcoming and supporting new Pasteurians, particularly foreign nationals, is an important issue for the Pasteur Institute. In line with its strategic plan, the Institute is implementing a series of concrete measures to facilitate their first steps and strengthen their integration.

Starting in September and continuing over the coming months, a series of events will punctuate the integration process, in addition to the internal resources made available to all.

New in-person training modules

The annual intercultural awareness seminar on the topic "Settling and Living in France" is being improved and expanded; it was first implemented more than 13 years ago! It is available to new international staff at the Institut Pasteur starting this September 2025 in the form of a full-day training module to address all needs and questions as comprehensively as possible.

•    September 30, 2025
•    October 21, 2025
•    November 25, 2025
