Pasteurdon

An unprecedented context calls for unprecedented measures – a unique launch event for a unique campaign! This year, the Pasteurdon launch event on October 7 will be an entirely online affair. Make sure you are ready with your computer, tablet or smartphone at 12 noon to watch the live launch of the 14th edition.

Pasteurdon

The COVID-19 epidemic has turned our lives and routines upside down. Going into lockdown, coming out of lockdown, learning to keep our distance... the entire human race has had to adapt to live with the virus. But how is it evolving? When can we hope to see an effective vaccine?

Pasteurdon

For the 14th edition of Pasteurdon, the Institut Pasteur's social media accounts will not only be promoting the campaign and encouraging people to use the hashtag #PutOnYourLabCoat; they will also be hosting a series of great activities to give everyone the chance to come together online and experience the magic of Pasteurdon!

Tribute

As part of events held to mark the centenary of Jules Bordet's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on immunity (1919), the Pasteur Museum and the Scientific Information Resources Center (CeRIS) designed and produced an exhibition about the life and scientific achievements of Jules Bordet.

Scientific events

The Scientific Secretariat General compiles information on the week’s conferences and publications, patents, funding opportunities, job vacancies, training and events that you may find useful for your career...

IT

The Information Systems Security team and the Data Management Core Facility offers you a new tool to help you secure your data. Easy to use, this tool helps you in a few clicks to secure your daily uses: what if I have to send sensitive data?

Human resources

As part of ongoing efforts to digitize its processes, the Human Resources Department is working closely with the Information Systems Department to introduce paperless HR files for Institut Pasteur staff (employment contracts, addenda, bank details, etc.).

Security

More than 1,521 of you were involved in the evacuation drills carried out last week on campus. The Security Department would like to thank all those who took part! These drills are vital to ensure that staff respond appropriately and do not panic in the event of a real incident. The aim is to make sure that all occupants of the buildings concerned can be evacuated quickly and in an orderly manner.
