Within the framework of its fundraising campaign, the Institute created the Cercle des Mécènes in 2016. This exclusive club aims at gathering individual donors and organizations that share a strong interest for science. Its members contribute to the spreading and strengthening of the Institute’s values: excellence, freedom, interdisciplinarity.

The Cercle des Mécènes is open to individual donors who commit to the Institute with a one-off donation of at least €15,000, or €20,000 over 3 years, as well as to representatives of corporate sponsors. Being a member of the Cercle des Mécènes of IHES means contributing to the development of fundamental research by supporting the peculiar model of IHES. It is also a way to create a special relationship with the Institute, including the possibility to interact with researchers and offering extraordinary access to the Institute, according to your needs.
