The Pasteur Network Foundation has been established to help develop a more efficient and structured business model.
Sheltered at the Institut Pasteur, the Foundation will contribute to the development of the Pasteur Network through capacity-building and infrastructure-strengthening activities. Its role is to consolidate and increase financial resources starting with a seed fund from the Institut Pasteur in Paris.
The Foundation will also take the lead on the major international programs currently supported by the Institut Pasteur, which are intended to strengthen the capacities and infrastructure of its founders and partners. It also manages funds that encourage international mobility (the Calmette & Yersin program and Four-Year Research Groups – G4s) and cooperation within the Pasteur Network (Pasteur International Joint Research Unit – PIU).
