People at the heart of our mission

The Institut Pasteur puts people at the heart of its mission, in the firm belief that excellence in scientific research is achieved through the commitment of individuals and the support of those who believe in its work. This involves valuing each and every one of our employees, from scientists to administrative and technical staff. Every member of our community contributes to the success and visibility of the Institut Pasteur.

MOVE INTO ACTION FOR DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

We are strongly committed to diversity, equity and inclusion – fundamental values that stimulate creativity and drive innovation. By upholding these values, we ensure that every voice is heard and every person helps in our quest to understand the living world and protect life.

We proudly uphold diversity as a fundamental value in our fight for human health. As Louis Pasteur himself once said, 'Science has no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity.'
