AXA Research Fund : taking on tomorrow's challenges
It was the conviction that increased knowledge encourages economic development and social well-being that led the AXA Group to create its Research Fund.
The AXA Group has created this new Fund to encourage research in a number of disciplines that touch on the risks, challenges and major transformations that affect our rapidly changing world. The Fund will award 100 million Euros over five years to finance innovative research.
The first 2010 campaign for Post-Doctoral fellowships is open from January 5th, 2010.

"Talent Day" second edition
On October 6th and 7th 2009, nineteen AXA grantees, from seven different nationalities, and whose research concerns longevity, have been gathered for the second edition of our Talent Days. The goal of this meeting was to give our young researchers the opportunity to discuss and compare their point of view on a common field of research that is highly important for our society: the increasing mean lifespan.
