Our 4 key values<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"Logo Independence and freedom in research<\/strong>
\nPermanent and Visiting Professors are completely unfettered from teaching duties and administrative responsibilities or concerns.<\/p>\n

\"Logo Courage and risk taking<\/strong>
\nIHES stands apart by its daring recruitment policy: not content with attracting those with established scientific reputations, the Institute bets on young talents.<\/p>\n

\"Logo Collaboration and emulation<\/strong>
\nAnchored by the permanent professors, the intellectual life of the Institute is constantly stimulated and invigorated by a program of seminars, conferences and meetings, which attract scientists from Paris region and the world.<\/p>\n

\"Logo Intellectual curiosity and ambition<\/strong>
\nIHES provides the supportive environment needed for fundamental science at the highest level which necessarily relies on long-term research work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
