European cooperation at the Institut français

One of the new missions entrusted to the Institut français on its creation was to affirm the European dimension of France's cultural action abroad.

Our objectives are as follows: 

  • To make the Institut français a visible, recognised and influential player on the European scene by increasing its partnerships and participation in European initiatives;
  • To develop the Institut's capacity to implement projects co-financed by the European Union by working to take greater account of European policies and objectives in our actions;
  • To raise the Network's and our partners' awareness of European priorities and policies on the one hand, but also of the cross-disciplinary issues supported by European institutions (Sustainable Development Goals, Culture and Development, social impact of projects, Green Pact for Europe, etc.).
