Our organization

Since 2010, our team has been trying to integrate meaning into R&D activities, in particular by activating three levers: creative intelligence, contextual intelligence and collective intelligence. Although still a long way from a bicameral system, the decision-making structure is relatively horizontal and very shared: decisions are taken in circles or working groups, in which everyone is welcome.

This allows employees to question their own ethics in their daily work or in the design and implementation of a research project.

The team has also decided to base its “raison d'être” on the pleasure of collectively advancing our world. Since January 2020, employees have been invited to project themselves into 2050 to accelerate the transition to a more inclusive and welcoming world for future generations. Based on readings by ancient and contemporary philosophers and sociologists, the discussion and debate feed small concrete actions and large projects.
