Institut Pasteur at the Palais de la Porte Dorée for the "Migrations and Climate" exhibition
From October 2025 to April 5, 2026, the Palais de la Porte Dorée is hosting an exhibition entitled "Migrations and Climate – How to Inhabit our World," which gives visitors an opportunity to explore and measure the impact of natural phenomena on human and animal movements.
Based on research conducted with a scientific advisory board composed of international experts, "Migrations and Climate" reveals often overlooked realities in all their diversity, highlighted by data from specialist organizations and long-term discussions with witnesses or activists in affected areas.
The Crédit Mutuel Foundation, a supporter of the exhibition and a major sponsor of the Institut Pasteur, has invited the Institut Pasteur's scientists to speak on February 7, from 10.30am to 5.30pm, at a forum held in conjunction with the "Migrations and Climate" exhibition. Alongside several other associations and organizations supported by the Crédit Mutuel Foundation, Rachel Bellone, a scientist in the Arboviruses and Insect Vectors Unit, will speak on the topic "Human and animal migration in the context of climate change: the implications of vector-borne diseases," a presentation on the EMa-Tigre project supported by the Crédit Mutuel.
The Institut Pasteur, represented by the Department of Philanthropy, will be hosting a stand to present its various research projects in the areas of migration, climate and health.
