BIP : The Institut Pasteur Newsletter, December 10, 2021
During this unprecedented and extended period marked by the international health crisis, the research community has an important role to play in addressing the many challenges associated with the current situation. Members of this community have been pushed, sometimes even forced, to the forefront of debates in which science and society are either in agreement or in opposition (e.g. incidents of fake news).
As announced in the December 3 issue of the newsletter, the year 2022 will mark the bicentenary of Louis Pasteur's birth. The bicentenary will be a momentous occasion, not only for the Institut Pasteur community but also for the country as a whole, with a host of events, celebrations and commemorations bearing the Louis Pasteur quality label, issued by a dedicated committee.

The idea was proposed by Philippe Casanova, one of the two winners of the 2021 sustainable development challenge run by the Sustainable Development Department.
