What is Night of Ideas?

Initiated in 2016 in Paris, this night brought together for the first time great French and international voices, invited to dialogue around the challenges of our society. From now on,  it's THE meeting place in France and internationally, to celebrate the free circulation of ideas.

The Institut Français thus invites all places of culture and knowledge present on the five continents, to come together in the same evening around conferences, meetings, forums and round tables, but also screenings, artistic performances and workshops youth, around a theme that everyone has in their own way.
