Security

The French authorities are advising people to avoid or take extra care when traveling to areas of international tension or conflict. The Institut Pasteur management team would therefore like to remind staff of the procedures that should be followed. Although Institut Pasteur staff are exposed to the same risks as any travelers, they may be targeted by malicious attacks because they belong to a symbolic French institution.
