Support IHES - IHES

Pushing back the limits of knowledge together
 

Fundamental sciences contribute to all research, and impact our lives. Within less than 60 years, the Institute has won the battle of its founder, to become a Mecca for science by promoting freedom of research.

This original model needs you: the funding of the Institute, a private foundation in the public interest, depends largely on donor’s generosity.

Your support is essential.
