Since 2014, each year, the Research and Creation Meetings bring together authors, actors, directors, choreographers and researchers from different disciplines and the public.

Field of excellence for research in the humanities and social sciences in its disciplinary diversity, the field of creation and culture are also emerging for the cognitive sciences and neurosciences through the analysis of perceptual, emotional, motor and fundamental learnings. The origin of language and languages, the functioning of the mind and the complexity of human communication, the texts and stories of past civilizations or of today's society are all fundamental questions for research that are explored during the Meetings. These questions are also at the heart of projects funded by the National Research Agency and Investments for the Future.

In a context of globalization, which is accompanied by new forms of exchanges between cultures, this event is part of a perspective of better knowledge of creation both from the point of view of its social and economic function and its role in human development and cohesion of societies.

These International Meetings are followed by a seminar which brings together artists, representatives of cultural agents, researchers, teachers of art schools, students around the presentation of projects funded by the ANR, Investissements d'Avenir and the Ministry of Culture.
