Committed to research
An understanding of the great changes taking place in the world drives the energies and talents of thousands of researchers.
We are committed to contributing to this progression of knowledge in France, Europe and, ultimately, worldwide.
Through its support and accompaniment, the AXA Group aspires to bring genuine added value to researchers' work.
Promoting innovation
We fund projects that are capable of bringing true innovation into research.
We offer research institutes innovative and efficient funding, with a view to academic excellence.
Encouraging exchange and synergy
Our aim is to contribute to setting up and reinforcing European research networks of excellence, by promoting exchange and synergy.
Helping research centers to achieve greater interdisciplinarity, and ensuring that top-level researchers remain internationally mobile are some of the objectives of the AXA Research Fund.
Reciprocating knowledge
To take our offering beyond simple financial backing, we forge links with the academic world, with a view to reciprocal contribution.
AXA Group's trade, size and international presence (it has over 150,000 employees in five continents), along with the diversity of its associates, provide a range of positive input to feed the work of economists, sociologists, mathematicians, engineers, statisticians and computer programmers.
The goal is to achieve a balance of interaction sufficient to ensure that research work remains strictly independent, and at the same time encourage a spirit of innovation and research within the company.
