THE INSITUTE

The Institute offers a place dedicated to research and training in history as well as a space for citizen dialogue with history. Through its various activities, it offers the widest possible audience the tools to think about what concerns us today. Its programme is part of a broad framework of reflections linked to the challenges facing society (digital revolution and issues of memory, history and questions of identity, etc.). It also intends to contribute to a better dialogue between economic and scientific circles in order to enhance the resources of a region.

The Institute's activities are focused on three areas: research, training and consulting.

RESEARCH
The Institute contributes to the advancement of historical knowledge through high-level scientific research projects. It benefits from partnerships with national and international institutions. Its research is interdisciplinary and deals with a variety of issues.

TRAINING
The Institute offers training courses in various formats (conferences, symposia, summer schools, study days, workshops). These courses, depending on the themes and perspectives chosen, are intended for different audiences: professionals working in archives, libraries and museums, students, doctoral students, teacher-researchers, institutions involved in the promotion and protection of heritage, public authorities, public or private companies and, more generally, anyone interested in history.
Upcoming training courses:

Management, transmission and conservation of heritage.

Scientific digital editing of medieval and modern archival documents.
Palaeography (beginner, intermediate and advanced levels).

ADVICE AND SUPPORT
Are you a public or private body, a foundation, an association, a group of citizens and do you wish to develop a project related to history (an exhibition, a research project, a popularisation article, a round table, digital activities, interventions in schools or through theatre)? Does your project require a scientific perspective? The Institute can be consulted, or even accompany you in its realisation.
