Just five days to go: come along on October 5 to launch Pasteurdon 2016 together

Pasteurdon, the Institut Pasteur's annual public fundraising campaign, will be celebrating its 10th anniversary edition this year, from October 5 to 9.

Since it was first set up, this campaign to raise public awareness has relied on the commitment of the entire Institut Pasteur community. The concerted efforts of the team as a whole are the real key to the success of Pasteurdon, and each year your participation helps raise awareness of the vital health issues addressed by the Institut Pasteur's research.

To celebrate this special anniversary edition together, you are all invited to come along to the Pasteurdon launch on October 5 at 12.30pm in the CIS hall. The event will be attended by Christian Bréchot, Pasteurdon patron Alexandra Lamy and several partners of this year's edition, including journalists, presenters and directors from our partner TV channels and radio stations and representatives from our partner companies.

We hope that as many of you as possible will come along to this launch event, where you will find out what some of your Institut Pasteur colleagues have been planning to promote the values of sharing, generosity and commitment to the cause.
