Created in 2002 on the initiative of Michel Cotet, François Juillet and Jean-Pierre Claveranne, Confluence des savoirs association brings together eleven public and independent partners (Musée des Confluences, ENS de Lyon and several Lyon’s foundations working in the scientific, educational or cultural fields) around the organization of transdisciplinary conference cycles accessible to the greatest number.
Combining the fields of research and creation around a common reflection, this platform for meetings and exchanges combines, six to seven times a year, the words of an artist and a scientist on a social subject.
