In 2023-2024, the " Faire connaissance " lecture series enabled Parisians to meet five professors from the Collège de France at the Marguerite Duras media library (20th arrondissement), to discuss the issues raised by their research, and the profession and role of the researcher in contemporary society. This cycle will be extended in 2024-2025 with five new lectures at the Marguerite Yourcenar multimedia library (15th arrondissement).
Users of Parisian libraries can now also view all the opening lectures filmed at the Collège de France since 1983, on the Parisian libraries' digital portal. These 196 exceptional documents represent milestones in the major advances in research over more than 40 years.
This digital collection now benefits from new access and wider distribution to subscribers of Parisian libraries.
It complements an already extensive range of documents published by the Collège de France and made available in local libraries, large media libraries and heritage libraries in the Paris network.
The public can easily access the entire collection, or build their own discovery path by searching the catalog by professor, subject, year or type of medium.
