Impuls neue Musik has been supported by the Institut français (Paris) since 1 January 2020. The Institut français promotes French culture abroad, all while promoting artistic exchanges and dialogue between cultures. The Institut français is a public institution responsible for French cultural actions abroad. Under the joint supervision of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture, it actively contributes to France’s diplomatic influence. Its projects and programmes rest on a unique capacity of deployment across a vast network of cultural services of the French Embassies, Instituts français and Alliances françaises present on the five continents.
